Holly's Checklist

A couple of years ago, I asked my friend Holly if she would do a little piece to camera about her journey with regards to breast cancer, which we then showed at our Breast Cancer Awareness Week gathering. So amid pink balloons, pink cupcakes, pink lemonade, we had our bubbly friend from Hollywood share a couple of things that she felt were important in her recovery and handling of the challenge.

(The Breast Cancer Challenge)

It's never a good day when you take a phone call from a beloved friend, to hear her normally chirpy voice say, "I've been diagnosed with breast cancer". I will never forget that moment as I retreated into the hotel bathroom (away from the happy chatter of those I was with) to help my friend navigate those first heart-wrenching moments of a diagnosis none of us ever want to hear.
