I watch your show every day and was particularly interested in the one about cancer. My 40 year old daughter was just diagnosed Feb. 26th with breast cancer. She is young, in good health and we have no history of it in the family so it was a shock. She had the lump biopsied when she was 26 and it was benign. She asked the doctor to remove it but he wouldn't. When she turned 40, she had her first mammogram and the doctor said he wanted to biopsy it again. This time it came back that it was a papilloma. Her doctor did a lumpectomy and sent it to the Mayo Clinic. The test results showed it to be an invasive ductile carcinoma. It was a real shock as all of the doctors were saying there was a slim chance that it was cancer. She has an MRI next week and a lymph node biopsy sometime down the road so we don't know yet what her course of treatment will be. Everyone is staying positive because they say it is stage 1 and very treatable. I am praying every day that they are right! Thank you for such an informative show!

Dearest Katie; I watched your show today and try to watch most days. Today was a GREAT show. I lost my Mom to cancer and it was terrible, like your husband, Jay. We have formed a walk; Relay For Life here in our little town [Tupper Lake] New York. It's in upstate [Gods Country]. We are an hour away from the Candian border! Anyway, would you like to come and walk with us in June? We would love to have you!!
