My 4-minute documentary on Momversation.com

Over the summer, I made a four-minute documentary of my story for a special series called Her Story for the website momversation.com.  Well, it has finally been posted!  Here's the link:

Making this documentary was a great opportunity for me and my son, Sam, to do something positive in response to my cancer and treatment.  My illness was hard on him.  At age 11, he's old enough to understand the seriouness of cancer and that people die from it.  Making this film was a positive experience in response to it, and it tapped into his technological gifts.  He did most of the filming.
