Cancer and what it can do to the whole family.

When I was around my mid 30s. My father called all of us kids and told us he wanted to talk with us. Well to us that meant something serous has happened or is fixing to happen. We gathered at Mom and Dad's House and sat outside under the porch. I was really worried because ,while I was staying there for a few days cause of my pregnancy. I noticed something that no one else did. I saw things I wish I would never have seen. My father rolling around on the floor not to play with their dogs or the g… Continue

Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the Women we Honor

My grandmother was a breast cancer survivor. She had a mastectomy at a time when I was too young to even understand what that meant. I am now 38 and acutely aware of what it means as we honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month. My grandmother outlived her cancer, dying of natural causes, and I know many of you who are taking care of your elders or dear friends are praying for the same outcome. Not too long ago we were introduced to a few remarkable women who created the TNBC foundation in honor of a… Continue

Breast Cancer: Ten Things a Survivor’s Teenage Daughter Needs to Know

Five years ago, while doing an interview for a newspaper in Raleigh, North Carolina, my daughter Tabitha, who was 14 at the time, told the reporter, she just always assumed she was destined to get Breast Cancer and, “never thought I wouldn’t get it.” Hearing her say it aloud-- I felt like I had been kicked in the heart. The first thing a Mother thinks about when diagnosed with Breast Cancer is how it will affect her children. The last thing she wants is her own daughter to be diagnosed with it,… Continue

The article generated much discussion including numerous requests from readers to be notified when the study was published. I am pleased to share not only the published study but a guest commentary courtesy of Dr. Morton.

Pumping Your Breast Milk for Other Babies

Recently, we have been receiving emails from moms stating that their babies had to go on formula and wanted to know what they can do with their already frozen breast milk. Like any mom that has pumped their precious breast milk, it is almost impossible to physically force yourself to just throw into a garbage can. Though I do not believe that Breast Milk Banks can take breast milk that has been pumped before the application process, the wonderful people at the Mother’s Milk Bank at Austin may b… Continue

My friend Maran recently had her fourth baby (she amazes me) and on day two ended up with a blocked milk duct. When she called and asked what to do, I reached out to some of my favorite experts. First I called
