There are many ways to deal with a devastating diagnosis. After being diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer in 2011, former Coeur d'Alene Press reporter Linda Ball decided to write her way through both the bad times and the good. It started with a blog and ended recently with a book called, "The Boob Blog," which the 57-year old Ball said is the story of "my own personal journey through the labyrinth of breast cancer." She said she feels her story is an interesting and inspiring one with more than its fair share of laughs. "I wrote it mainly to let people know you can pull through something that's horrible and still have a life," Ball said. "I thought the way I handled the whole thing was a little bit different than many women. A lot of them kind of put their lives on hold and I chose not to do that"/Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
