Brush with Mortality Colors Decision to Open Art Gallery
(Chicago Tribune) — Five years ago, Faye Edwards was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her immediate thoughts were of saving her life. But with the prospect of dying looming, she began to think about the things she’d always wanted to do but hadn’t.
“I was so tired emotionally and physically from the chemotherapy and radiation that I must have slept for three months,” said Edwards, 57. “It took me about a year to get myself together. But I knew I needed to get on with this dream I had if I was ever going to do it.”
