Happy 14th Cancerversary, Madame President!

14 years!!! Thank God! :: On February 1, 2005, after months of #chemo, hospital stays, adverse side effects, home nurses and uncertainties, I walked into Johns Hopkins Hospital, to have both of my breasts and #cancer removed. {I had tissue expanders placed, followed by #radiation.} I was 26 years old. This is the day that I celebrate my #Cancerversary. I wasn’t on social media during my 2004 diagnosis nor did I take any pictures during that time. (I didn’t know that was “a

Living with Cancer by Kelly DeLand

Kelly DeLand “Living” with Cancer What a laughable statement. Living with cancer is an oxymoron. You wake up everyday with your mortality staring you in the face. Hearing that time clock ticking away…tick tick tick. Never knowing how you are going to feel that day. Which personality are you going to start with. You take fist fulls of pills, poisons and potions just to partially function and get through your day. It’s supposed to kill the cancer but it’s a slow march to your d

I Was Fighting Breast Cancer as an Underinsured Woman, and I Couldn’t Get the Care I Needed to

I Was Fighting Breast Cancer as an Underinsured Woman, and I Couldn’t Get the Care I Needed to

“I’ll do whatever I have to do to get out of here,” Nikki “Trip” Tripplett, 39, remembers thinking when she showed up at one clinic for breast cancer testing. But the self-employed, underinsured Texan wasn’t talking about fighting and surviving breast cancer. She was talking about getting out of that particular rundown facility. She was determined to receive her care in a cleaner, better-managed medical center than her bare bones government-issued insurance allowed. “I needed

Loving Yourself After Breast Cancer: Shay speaks on the controversy that often comes with sharing ma

I usually receive countless negative comments whenever I post topless mastectomy photos. People can be extremely mean! Women and men have called me a man, unattractive, undesirable & better off dead. Surprisingly, most of my negative comments come from WOMEN. The same women who could possibly have to face my same fate one day. Crazy huh? I’ve been told that no man will want me without breasts. I will NEVER get married now! How can I feel sexy without breasts? I’m soliciting s

It all started with a Beyonce concert… By guest blogger, Channte K.

It was one of the best nights of my life. After having front row seats to the Beyonce Formation concert, I was on an ultimate high. I crashed in the bed at 1:00 am, anxiously looking to recap the night. I scrolled through picture after picture on my phone, grinning at how remarkable the night had been. As I rested my phone near my chest to brace for a better view, I could see a raised lump. The site of the lump was not too frightening at the time, but I immediately knew that

Cancer treatment breaks you down … physically and emotionally. By Robin G.

Yet somehow the sniper got me! I was a sitting duck and I got hit. So then all your medical team can do is go on the defense. Sometimes they cut the cancer out. Sometimes they poison you and put drugs in your body that kill cancer and everything else. Some people don’t survive the treatment. They literally get killed by the treatments. And sometimes they burn you. They literally burn your body in an effort to kill cancer. Chemo, surgery, and #Radiation. The cancer treatment t

Here we go again! by Guest Blogger, Shanicka.

Well it was the second week in September 2016, almost 6 years after my initial Stage 1 breast cancer diagnosis. I was scheduled to see my plastic surgeon for my annual exam. I wasn’t going to go because my implant felt fine. I’d already had five surgeries and I didn’t want to endure another, so I had made my mind up and decided I wasn’t going. The day of something just told me to call the plastic surgeon’s office and that’s what I did. After briefly speaking with the receptio

Beyond The Shock and Beneath The Scars: Who Walked the NYFW Breast Cancer Show? *Borrowed from ihadc

By now you’ve probably seen the articles and photos of the sixteen models who bore everything at New York Fashion Week’s first-ever “Exposed” event, a show by AnaOno for #Cancerland. But what you probably didn’t realize was that they weren’t models at all – they were survivors, fighters and previvors who risked it all to raise awareness for metastatic breast cancer. So we wanted to know, who were these non-models, and why does the world need to start caring about their storie
