Additional information

I have just undergone a bone marrow transplant for metastatic breast cancer to the liver, lymph nodes, and rib; therefore, I have been unable to participate in the USAF Reserves for the past 10 months. I would have liked to participate in Bosnia efforts. I will be returning to my reserve status in the near future.
