Breast Cancer Survivor Gillian Franklin Tells Her Story

Amanda Gome over at Smart Company has a really inspiring interview with cosmetic distribution and marketing giant Heat Group’s founder, Gillian Franklin. Ms. Franklin continued to run her $75 million dollar company while battling breast cancer.

In the interview she said, “The most important thing for me when I was diagnosed was this is simply an inconvenience. I never for one minute allowed myself to think that it was anything other than that. And I think that strength, that mental and emotional strength, just underpinned everything that I did. So there were no tears and crying and stress and angst and concern about could I die, I never even allowed myself to think about that.”

    My mother had breast cancer 20 years ago and luckily she found hers early. She is 76 now and it hasn’t come back – thank God!
