From Pam Stephan, your Guide to Breast Cancer
When I was newly diagnosed, a fellow survivor told me that in a year I would, "look back and laugh!" I thought she was nuts. Nice, but nuts! When my anniversary came around, I just heaved a sigh of relief. This year is a little different though.

10 Years as a Breast Cancer Survivor
The pretty woman in the breast cancer resource center looked healthy and strong. She asked me a few questions and then started collecting stuff for me to read. This lady had lots of answers and was very confident. Finally, she revealed that she was a 10-year survivor! At that point, I could not imagine living 10 years past my diagnosis - but now I am a TEN YEAR survivor!

How You Celebrated Your Breast Cancer Anniversary
Did you do something special for your cancer anniversary? My husband and my father took me out to my favorite Mexican Seafood restaurant, and made sure I didn't have to cook, clean up, or pay up! It was a low-key party, but that's what I like. You may prefer a grander soiree - so tell me: How did you celebrate?

Giuliana Rancic Unfazed by Breast Cancer
Giuliana Rancic lost both breasts in December, had reconstruction, and went right back to work on television. She is on E! News and Fashion Police and is very, very into clothes and shoes. Rancic has said that having breast cancer didn't change her - which I find hard to believe! Is it okay for high-profile people to talk about cancer as if it is just a blip on the scope screen of life?

Emotional Stages of Breast Cancer
I have met people that were in treatment, yet still in denial about their breast cancer. Denial isn't supposed to last that long, but it is a common stage of emotions. Find out what the other stages may be, at diagnosis, in treatment, and in recovery.
