canadian rocker diagnosed

One of my favorite rocker girl singers has just been diagnosed at age 35. Beth 'Bif Naked' Torbert. She is a vegan and religious about working out (yoga). I don't know if she is her2 +, but goes to show that this challenge does not discriminate. So in case you find this site: Beth I know this challenge will be tough, but your tougher. Your music inspires me and has helped me through some tough times, so I thank you. I am sure some of our Canadian members know who I am talking about.

Bif Naked apparently has an "aggressive" form of breast cancer.....could it be her2+? My daughter is a big fan and was totally shocked to hear the news. Bif's attitude is wonderful and she said she is ready for the fight of her life and is glad it's not her mother or sister or one of her friends. She just got married three months ago and lives a very healthly, active lifestyle. As she points out...this disease does not discriminate.
