Caring for me Member since May 18, 2010Hi! My name is Karen and I am fighting triple negative breast cancer and all of its wonderful side effects. I am also raising my 8 year old grandson, who has autism and adhd, while assisting my mother in caring for my 80 year old father with advanced Alzheimers. We try to stay on the positive side 100% of the time and celebrate even the smallest of triumphs. I am also attempting to go back to work full time as a special education teacher. I work with 5th and 6th grade students who have a variety of disabilities, but most of my students are autistic.
