Fallen warriors
It is with a broken heart that I initially wrote this message. I lost my sister, Jean in 2018. She was a 2-time breast cancer survivor; however, the third time was too much for her. One week after she started chemo, she became dehydrated and got a bacterial infection. The bacteria over took her system and she was gone in a hand full of hours.
Jean was an Intensive Care nurse at St. Joseph's Hospital where she saved lives on a weekly or sometimes daily basis. She also served as a Clinical Cardiac Care Researcher and manager of the Rural Healthcare Outreach (Mobile Mammograph) Program, providing health screenings and preventive care to underserved communities.
In September 2019, we lost another amazing person to breast cancer. Janine Kordokus was a kind, thoughtful, passionate, outdoors person. As a member of the Canyoneers, she shared her knowledge and love of nature by leading hikes around San Diego County. She kept the Canyoneers' monthly hike list handy, just in case someone expressed an interest in hiking.
Janine was one of the first Material Scientists at Cymer/ASML. Her contributions to advancing the technology in both DUV and EUV are numerous. Janine was fierce in her fight against breast cancer and was not afraid to share her experience with others. She volunteered for the Advocated in Science in order to bring the patient's perspective on new clinical trials and treatments to the research team.
There is no way that the words can truly describe the amazing people that Janine and Jean were and how deeply they are missed by family, friends, colleagues and strangers that had the pleasure of meeting them.
Janine and Jean created many memories for all of us. Their deaths remind me that life is fleeting and we shouldn't waste it!
I hate breast cancer and what it has done to my sister, my friend and our families. While we have made progress, there is still work to be done to eliminate this disease. I never, ever want to lose another loved one. I hope that you will make a donation to help find more diagnostics, more treatments and ……….. one day a cure!
