Ms. Jil- lian was asked to speak after dealing with breast cancer in 1985. She found the cancer through self-breast examination, SBE, and emphasized the importance of every female learning and prac- ticing this procedure. Since finding the cancer, Ms. J illian stated that it effected her life by changing her outlook on life, her relationship with her husband, and giving a new prospective in her career. Her new outlook on life, as she explained it, was like taking pic- tures and shooting close-up shots instead of trying to get the whole scape. Her relationship with her husband was strengthened by this event. She felt that there was nothing that the two of them could not go through. Ms. J illianls career was not put on hold during this time; instead she used it, and chemotherapy, for a quick recovery.
