A DISCUSSION WITH
JERE BEASLEY Jere Beasley, founder of Montgomery-based Beasley Allen law firm, shares how he dealt with his wife’s breast cancer and offered his thoughts on the crucial role faith plays for both the patient and the caregiver.
WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST THOUGHT WHEN YOU HEARD YOUR WIFE’S DIAGNOSIS? Sara was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998. When I first heard about the diagnosis, I was shocked. That was because Sara had been quite healthy and very active. There had been no indication of any health problems. We both took the news in stride and knew that we would have to deal with a bout with cancer.
