    Finding the Silver Linings

    By DSLRF On Friday, May 10, 2013 · 2 Comments
    As a healthy, happy, vegan eating, marathon running, 39 year-old mother, nurse and social worker with no family history of breast cancer, being diagnosed with the disease in October of 2010 rocked my world.

    My Mother, My Mentor

    By DSLRF On Wednesday, May 8, 2013 · 6 Comments
    I have listened to my mom tell me many things (and I have, on one or two occasions, even not listened to what she has said), but I never expected to hear the words that came out of her mouth in December of 2011. It was two weeks before Christmas when I sat down in front [...]

A study published online April 8 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology found that breast cancer survivors who have a drink a day actually fare better than women who don’t!

    I’m Going the Distance with Love

    By DSLRF On Monday, April 15, 2013 · 2 Comments
    Like the majority of breast cancer survivors, I had absolutely no history of breast cancer in my family.  Friends and relatives were sympathetic and well-meaning, giving me pink “Hope, Faith, Courage” bracelets and other pink ribbon items, but that left me feeling hollow.  Supporting the movements to raise money for the cure gave me more [...]

For quite some time, one of the consequences we’ve been most concerned about is the effect that radiation can have on the heart. A new study in New England Journal of Medicine tells us more about that risk—and how long it [...]
