Christina Applegate. She’s been nominated for an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her latest role on “Samantha Who?” and starred in numerous films and TV sitcoms over the years since she was a child.
Of course, like me, you might remember her for her role as the hysterically bratty, ditzy, beautiful albeit slutty, Kelly Bundy […]
A few weeks ago I received a copy of A Survivor’s Guide for the Breast Cancer Journey — a journal to help women newly diagnosed with breast cancer understand, organize, plan and record their journey from diagnosis to recovery.
Shortly thereafter, I announced a contest I was having to determine who to send it to.
The winner? […]
I recently read a Reuters release on “Emotional” writing; apparently a study team led by Dr. M. Soledad Cepeda of Tufts-New England Medical Center in Boston, MA discovered that cancer patients could find value in writing down their emotions. Furthermore, the act of writing down their emotions might improve the pain symptoms and their overall […]
Some projects are so BIG they require a whole new approach …
That’s the tagline on the home page for the Victory Project, founded by Mike Dewey, a site and an initiative designed to change the way we approach finding a cure for breast cancer. There’s some media buzz right now about Mr. Dewey … […]
Life happens. We may be forced to face trials and challenges that we didn’t choose or desire to have any part of. Dealing with cancer, the death of a loved one, a heart attack that we never saw coming, a divorce, betrayal, and hurts and disappointments that leave us questioning why.
Why is this […]
My readership grows every day … with that in mind, I thought I’d personally welcome any newcomers to the Pink Ribbon Review, a blog dedicated to raising breast cancer awareness.

Want me to […]
Yesterday’s post on My Personal Independence Day was part of another theme day round up here at b5media’s health and wellness channel.
Across the channel bloggers were told to write a post about independence and the topics ran the gamut.
Some of my favorite posts included those covering ways to gain not just freedom from cancer, but […]
Update: Read through to the bottom of this post if you want to be entered in the drawing to win this journal!
Who here has a pocket folder full of information and notes that you put together when you were first diagnosed with breast cancer? A 3-ring binder? A manilla folder hanging in a Pendaflex file?
Well, […]
I was never more dependent on others, since my childhood days, than I was after my TRAM flap reconstruction, immediately following my double mastectomy.
I mean seriously, I was cut hip-to-hip, hardly able to walk upright let alone lift anything for weeks, all the while nursing a seriously sore chest that had been to battle and […]
I received an email from my mother yesterday that included a copy of the essay written by former White House Press Secretary Tony Snow before he died (on July 12, 2008). The title of the essay was ‘Cancer’s Unexpected Blesings’.
My mom prefaced the essay with a note about how beautiful it was; she’s an ovarian […]
