Hereditary cancer – do you want to know?

After being involved with breast cancer awareness for many years, I made the decision to go in for hereditary cancer screening at Hoag. It took me several months to finally decide that I wanted to know. My mom’s breast cancer did not have the markers of hereditary cancer, but since my paternal grandma died from […]

Calling all Melon Men!

For those of you who have ever taken part in the spectacle that is the Susan G. Komen San Diego 3 Day, you know that no walk would be complete without the dedicated walker-stalkers, The Melon Men. These fine men have been coming out to cheer on their moms, wives, and girlfriends since 2008. I am so […]

High fiber, healthy melons?

High fiber ain’t just for all us old people! Young women with a high fiber diet have a lower incidence of breast cancer. I know many of us struggle to figure out what constitutes a healthy diet.

Dense boobs

I recently had to have a breast MRI done for diagnostic screening. I have the trifecta of bad luck in that I have a history of breast cancer on both sides of my family, I am now 40, and I have dense breasts. Unfortunately, having dense breasts means that regular mammography screening is insufficient for me. […]
