In the summer of 2001 I was thirty-nine years of age, single, fit, an outdoor enthusiast and a practicing nurse. I had recently made a career change and was enjoying my return to oncology nursing at a major cancer treatment centre in the belief that it was where I was "meant to be". The truth in that belief soon became apparent in more ways than I imagined.
