You may have heard that I was diagnosed with breast cancer two months ago. Since I spoke about my lumpectomy on the radio, the outpouring of prayers, best wishes, information, and shared stories from River listeners and friends has been overwhelming to me. I am blown away by how many people have been closely touched by this devastating disease! I'm inspired to keep you a- "breast" of my situation by sharing my (and maybe even your) experiences via this blog. If sharing info can help even one person get checked, then this will be a successful endeavor!

I'm starting chemo this Friday. Of course, I am feeling tentative about that and am trying to have a sense of humor about it. Thankfully, there is something inherently funny about the word, "wig." More on that tomorrow.

Btw, I am excited about this morning's concert announcement - STEVIE WONDER at the Verizon Wireless Amphoitheater June 24th. My brother saw this show in Philly last year and said it was fantastic! Tickets are on sale Monday at 10am.

    My prayers and thoughts are with you. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1973, sadly she passed away 5 yrs later, since then they have made tremendous progress in the treatment of the disease, and I want to commend you in your courage in going public. I first moveds to Atlanta about 30 yrs ago, and listened to you on 96 Rock, and saw you at concerts at the old Omni I have always been a big fan of yours, Best of luck to you, stay strongHFUYQ,
