    January 14, 2019

    Hey y’all… it’s me… JoJo… yep… it’s me. I am quite literally shaking as I sit in front of this very blank screen.  It’s been awhile, my friends, I don’t think I even know what to say or where to start.  I guess I will start with this… cancer is fricking hard, hard as balls!  So I guess let’s start…

    I Love Being Flat, Not That I Had an Option

    December 13, 2018

    By Leeza Long & Melanie Long I have an extremely extensive breast cancer history, but that is not going to be the focus right now. My focus is going to be my second breast cancer diagnosis.

    October 31, 2018

    A Thought on Divisions October 31, 2018 By Leah Taylor I’ve been thinking about an issue I’ve noticed in the breast cancer community over the last eight years. Eight years you say? Yup, eight years. Interesting story… about 5 months after diagnosis #1 in my breast cancer story in the fall of 2010, I went to a famous breast cancer…

    October 30, 2018

    Wow, was I Wrong An Oncology Floor at 2:45 a.m. By Leah Taylor BC (before cancer), I had a lot of preconceived notions about life with cancer.
