    I wonder if she will be in Anchorman II.

    That's an incredibly difficult decision to make, but given she carried the BRCA1 gene and has a mother who had breast cancer, a double mastectomy was probably wise. Studies have shown that women who have the gene are at higher risk for ovarian cancer, too.
    Thanks in a large part to Robin Roberts, more and more women feel comfortable sharing their stories with breast cancer. Joe Torre was equally open, helping chip away some of the "embarrassment" that comes with a diagnose of prostate cancer.
    Love this Applegate quote: "I'm going to have the best boobs in the nursing home."

    I can't measure the amount of respect I have gained for her.

    and we've all lost someone because of cancer. it doesn't discriminate ... watched my grandfather lose 100 pounds and wither away thanks to lung cancer. but sometimes, maybe just sometimes, we could all see the positive in what people write and not the negative.

    i doubt my boy was attempting to piss all ya'all off to this extent. fuck, chill out.
