 We're back with Jeannie Pippin, Director of Volunteers at Breastlink and a 26-year survivor. Jeannie, welcome to the show. Welcome. Wow. I'm very happy to be here. Tell us about that journey. Okay, I will. It happened to be two days before our 40th wedding anniversary. Okay. And I went to Dr. West and I found out that my husband had planned a golf weekend for us. I had a real nice golf resort. And he was going to surprise me, but he ended up telling me because of the bad news. And so we went on a weekend and what he had done was buy me a set of new irons. And so when I would play golf or dress the iron, tears just rolled on my cheek because I felt, why did he spend all this money? And I'm not going to be alive to use them. Now, who told you or how did you come to find out that you had breast cancer? I went to my gynecologist and then he sent me to Dr. West. Okay, so you hold a special place because you were Breastlink's first patient, correct? Yeah. Wow. Okay. So anyway, I went through, back in those days they didn't do immediate reconstruction. So I had the mastectomy in ten months. Later I had the reconstruction. And at that time, I was before the first breast care center opened. About two months I was diagnosed. And what they had found out that most of the patients wanted was somebody to talk to that had gone through it. So I was the first person they gave a support person to. Wow. And so I'm still friends with her. She moved up north, but we are still friends and communicate. But also, I was before breast cancer, I was a very shy, kind of introvert type person. I wouldn't even notice that girl. That's what changed me. And so this support person, we would meet for lunch for some times. And it took me three lunches to even ask her if I would make a good volunteer. Wow. And her words were, you would be fantastic. So that was all I needed. So I also volunteered for seven months. I already volunteered three days a week, eight hours a day, which was unusual for a volunteer. Was this why you were still going into treatment or what were you? This was over. So this was afterwards. Okay. And so then they offered me the job of director. Wow. So you got a job out the deal. Okay.
