Yeah no comment on the news that shall not be mentioned.

Shannen Doherty hit me hard as someone who had breast cancer. I try to be an advocate for this disease, and she gave so many people hope, “Shannen Doherty has stage 4 cancer and she’s thriving!” But now her death makes us wonder if that will be us one day. Well not me so much, I think I handle those fears very well, but it hits my community hard and that sucks.

Early detection is key but many younger women have no way to detect their cancer before it’s too late. I was lucky I felt mine, normally women my age don’t feel the lump that early on. More research needs to be done for detection but also treatments for stage 4 cancer, which often gets ignored by Susan G. Komen.

Off my soap box now, sorry.
