Letter from Project Kesher's Breast Cancer Initiative Participant

"For a number of years I have been studying at and participating in Project Kesher programs. And, probably like many other women, my head is filled with ideas and plans while my body aches disturb me. Maybe it’s our past and our upbringing that affect us, but usually my bad mood was treated with a pain-killer I took, never consulting a doctor."

- Anna D. Cherkassy, women’s group leader
