Hi! My name is Laura and I am an author, manuscript editor, and indie author PA. I absolutely love my work and am very grateful I’m able to do it as a full time job while being home with my 2 beautiful kiddos (6 y/o boy and 8 y/o girl) and our 8 month old puppy.

In early June I noticed a large lump on my breast

My name is Mariluz Rondon Rios. I am a 78-year-old widow, born and raised in Puerto Rico. In October 2026, after cancer knocked on my door once again, I moved to Dayton, Ohio with my daughter, my only child. In 2005, at the age of 58, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

This time, I was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer. I ha
