In October 2007, I felt a lump on my left side while nursing my baby. My doctor made me wait until 2008 to do a mammogram. I ended up with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer that spread to my lymph nodes and my liver. I then had 4 months of …

Being diagnosed with incurable cancer was a really crappy way to spend my 50th year. No really, it sucked. When I turned 50, I was at a good – no GREAT place. Turning 50 did not intimidate me. I knew I was going to get along just fine. I spent …
