By Gina Ann Bennett Nancy Cronin, C.N.A. stays grateful for so many things; she hasn’t missed a day of work in 18 years, and before that she volunteered at the Northern Montana Hospital and at the Northern Montana Care Center; she’s a wife and mother, a baker of dozens of cookies to give away, and now, thanks to the care she received at the Northern Montana Sletten Cancer Center, she’s a breast cancer survivor, too. “You just have to take each day as it comes,” said Cronin, whose positive attitude and up-beat personali...
