Mastectomy over Lumpectomy Does not mean Zero % Chance of Breast Cancer

Today on Dr. Drew they had a panel of doctors talking about Guiliana Rancic's choice to get a double mastectomy to avoid "looking over my shoulder for the rest of my life". It is also on the heels of Wanda Sikes, the  Black comedian having the same procedure for her micro-cancer, or stage zero breast cancer, for the same reason; she did not... Read moreChevron

Haunted by the Ghosts of Cancer Past

I am not my father.   My cancer is not my father’s cancer. Two very simple statements, but the journey I undertook to be able to say them, and more importantly, to believe them, was perilous.
