I had a few questions for Jayne Byrne after I read her story the other day, and I thought I’d share her answers with you all here today!
What was the greatest lesson having breast cancer taught you?
I’ve learned to really pay attention: to my body, my stress level, my relationships, and my priorities. […]
All that talk about PTSD last week had me thinking … when does one cross the line from being down to being depressed and needing professional help? Well, I received some answers to that question from Dr. Rausch at Massachusetts General Hospital:
“It may be hard to know exactly when some down mood becomes depression or […]
I started blogging about breast cancer on Wednesday, November 1, 2006. I know that for a fact, because I recently revisited The Breast Blog, my first breast cancer blog, and that was the date on my very first post, my introduction to the world.
Ah, The Breast Blog. Were any of you here readers of mine […]

I just wanted to […]
Hard to believe this, but researchers are learning how to potentially target tumors with tiny, robotic ‘nanoworms’ that could administer a lethal dose of an anti-cancer drug without impacting other parts of the body.
Scientists at UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara and MIT have developed these ‘nanoworms’ that cruise through the bloodstream and could act […]
People newly diagnosed with breast cancer have very specific mental health needs. Check out the facts cited in a 2006 Psych Central article:
“While nearly half of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients experience clinically significant mental anguish before treatment begins, the disorders are often unrecognized and undertreated. In a new study by Dartmouth Medical School researchers, […]
Just got this email from Lance Armstrong …thought I’d share it with you (and no, I don’t kid myself by thinking he wrote to me personally):
Tomorrow is LIVESTRONG Day, a day when more than 600 cancer awareness and fundraising events will take place all across the country. Every staff member from my Foundation is attending […]
