    The Pitfalls of Dating After Cancer

    June 19, 2018

      By: Steve Del Gardo Dating after cancer? As one man to another, one breast cancer survivor to another, let me tell you: It’s been awful.

    March 31, 2018

    THE GRACE PROJECT AND HEALING MY SOUL

    March 22, 2018

      By: Mia Curtiss A few years back I was asked to participate in “The Grace Project” in Chicago. After a comedy of errors it never happened. God knew far better than me I was by no means ready to pose topless without my breasts. Fast forward two years later the opportunity presents itself again and although I’m extremely uncomfortable…
