Today we’re joining the GO RED movement in support of women’s cardiovascular health.

Breast cancer facts get a lot of attention, but heart disease remains the #1 killer of women, including many breast cancer survivors.

As many of us (me included) wrap up “Dry January,” here’s another reason to be mindful of alcohol—even beyond this month.

I had heard there was a connection between alcohol and cancer, but I was surprised to learn…

Today is one month until Valentine’s Day, a time to share some love, especially with those battling illness.

When I lost my hair during chemo, it was constantly on my mind. I wanted so badly to look like myself again; to feel pretty, not sick.

January is Cervical Health Awareness Month—a reminder to talk about cervical cancer and how to prevent it.

In the U.S., about 1 in 10,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year and in 2025, more than 13,000 women were diagnosed.

Breast cancer diagnosis, treatment, and fear of recurrence can be deeply traumatic.

Studies show that 1 in 3 survivors experience PTSD-like symptoms which often intensify after treatment ends.

Favorite Things Parties are becoming more popular, but I prefer to give others a gift that meant a lot to me during and after treatment, but has nothing to do with cancer: a “Favorite Things Day.”

Caregiving is something that we all experience, either as a care provider or someone receiving care. 

Rosalynn Carter founded the Institute for Caregivers because she believed in the importance of “creating a world where every caregiver is seen, heard, and supported.”

Did you know that breast cancer rates among women under 45 increased by about 1% every year in the U.S. from 2012–2022?

And they’re still trending upward today.

“My friend was just diagnosed with cancer. How can I help, or what can I send them?”
That’s the question I get asked most often, and it comes straight from the heart of true caregivers.

Now, as a breast cancer survivor, I’m quick to share the things that made the biggest difference.

Every year on October 13, we pause to raise awareness for those living with Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC), or stage IV breast cancer.

MBC occurs when cancer spreads beyond the breast to other parts of the body…

My home state of Pennsylvania is doing AMAZING things to lead the way in the fight against breast cancer… 🎀🥊

Those living with a gene mutation but without cancer are called PREVIVORS—a “survivor of a predisposition to cancer.”

The good news is that previvors have medical options to manage their cancer risks.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. 🎗️ 

This month, nearly 1,200 families in the U.S. will be told the words no parent ever wants to hear: “your child has cancer.”

Around the world, the crisis is even greater.
