All my sisters--the ones I'm related to by blood, and the ones I've chosen
Both of my sisters are breast cancer survivors--my sister Kat even wrote a book about her experience deciding not to have reconstruction after her double mastectomy (called Flat and Happy, available on Amazon!!). But it isn't just them--it's countless friends and friends of friends, not to mention my grandmother and mother-in-law. One in eight women in the US will be diagnosed in her lifetime. Komen is working to both reduce that number, as well as make the treatments more effective and less toxic. Please join me in supporting Komen to help women who need it, whether through facilitating screening, providing care, or developing the treatments of the future.
