		<description><![CDATA[I like to chart my progress after cancer by my kids&#8217; birthdays. Take Joey, for example. Today, he turns 9. Significant for him, because he gets a party (it was yesterday, check it out) and presents, plus he&#8217;s one year closer to scoring that F350 he wants so badly. A big deal for me, too, [...]]]></description>

That&#8217;s easy.

I started blogging about breast cancer the day I learned it had invaded my body. But I’ve never routinely blogged about my children — invaders of another sort. I’ve been braving cancer for a little more than four years, but I’ve been braving boys for more than eight. Seems only fitting I document the beautiful [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve never heard anything like it and apparently, not many people have, because the parents of this sweet little girl are at a crossroads over how to treat their 10-year-old daughter, who was just recently diagnosed with breast cancer.
Hannah Powell has invasive ductal carcinoma, Stage IIA.
Here&#8217;s the dilemma: What type of treatment should a child [...]]]></description>

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, Joey was almost four, and Danny was 18 months old. Now Joey is eight, and Danny is almost six. And I&#8217;m still alive. How&#8217;s that for hope?

Susan, a mother of four and breast cancer survivor for two years and three months, says, &#8220;My college daughter, Kait, created this intaglio ink print (etched on a metal plate)  during my treatment in 2007. She never titled it, but to me it is what breast cancer looks like. This print is of our special vacation place, Lakeside, Ohio [...]]]></description>

Tracy says, &#8220;I decided to shave my head before my hair started falling out.  I asked my family and some friends to come with me so that I wouldn&#8217;t lose my nerve.  It was an extremely emotional day for everyone as you can see from the picture of my husband and children.  But what I found [...]]]></description>
