		 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.
