I’m a 12-year breast cancer survivor [BRCA2]. My breast cancer and major health problems began growing shortly after toxic exposure on 9/11. My thoughts and prayers to the 9/11 heroes...their families and everyone who endured that tragic day and its aftermath. I married a wonderful man two years after my diagnosis on Patron St. of Breast Cancer Day. We met in the heart of NYC, History Channel's "Breaking Vegas". We moved to LA two years later, where my husband worked in TV/Film Production. I became a lot more ill, dx late-stage Lyme disease and life-threatening breast cancer, 39. I sought help after a dream of warning. A giant lady appeared before me and revealed to me that I had breast cancer. My Background: I was born and raised in Pittsburgh suburbs. My father was a steelworker, over 30 yrs., prior an Honor Guard in the US Army. My mother raised us three girls. I spent summers with my Oma and relatives overseas, moved 30x throughout PA, NY, Carolinas, FLA, AZ, and CA. I've traveled from 4 to Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, (former) Yugoslavia, England, Canada, China, Japan, Vietnam, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and throughout US. I've been drawn to art, acting, film, poetry, music, dreams. I've spent time studying, modeling, acting, creating, writing poetry, working lots of interesting jobs, meeting amazing people, experiencing a lot. I've been very fortunate to visit many places. I'm an old soul, deep thinker, storyteller, true friend, good listener, wife, mama bear, Godmother, daughter, soul sister, aunt, niece, cousin... A special thanks to doctors, nurses, and medical staff at Pink Lotus Breast Center, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, St. John's Health Center, Cedars-Sinai Tower Hematology Oncology, UCLA, California Pacific Medical Center, UPMC Hillman Cancer Center, Heritage Valley Rehab (lymphedema), my husband Kalev, my dog Sonny, family, and friends…
