My cancer scare changed my life. I'm grateful for every new, healthy day I have. It has helped me prioritize my life.
Every woman needs to know the facts. And the fact is, when it comes to breast cancer, every woman is at risk.
During chemo, you're more tired than you've ever been. It's like a cloud passing over the sun, and suddenly you're out. But you also find that you're stronger than you've ever been. You're clear. Your mortality is at optimal distance, not up so close that it obscures everything else, but close enough to give you depth perception. Previously, it has taken you weeks, months, or years to discover the meaning of an experience. Now it's instantaneous.
The most important thing in illness is never to lose heart.
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
I didn't know anything about breast cancer when I got it.
We have two options, medically and emotionally: give up or fight like hell.
Breast cancer deaths in America have been declining for more than a decade. Much of that success is due to early detection and better treatments for women. I strongly encourage women to get a mammogram.

Time is shortening. But every day that I challenge this cancer and survive is a victory for me.
I have a new found respect for women who have been through breast cancer and this surgery.
Having had cancer, one important thing to know is you're still the same person at the end. You're stripped down to near zero. But most people come out the other end feeling more like themselves than ever before.
Well, right now, technically, I have no breast cancer.
This show has shown me how to throw a punch. But watching my future sister-in-law go through breast cancer has also shown me how to take one.
Cancer has been unfortunately in my life. My mom's best friend is kicking ass in her battle with breast cancer. Both of my grandmas had cancer. I recently lost a friend to cancer.
I've been a rock star since you were very young. But I've never encountered anything as powerful as cancer.
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself-and possibly teh bogey man.
