When I went public with my breast cancer diagnosis six weeks ago, the overwhelming outpouring of love, prayers and support really helped me heal faster. I want to make sure to thank everyone.

This was our last stop. This was it. We had those two embryos that we had banked prior to learning about the breast cancer, and with the medicine she was on, this was our last effort. The prayers were answered.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004.

With breast cancer, it's all about detection. You have to educate young women and encourage them to do everything they have to do.

For me it was just more important to get the cancer out. With the double mastectomy I now have less than one per cent chance of getting it back, otherwise it was 20, 30 or 40 per cent chance and for me it wasn't worth it.

In 2001, I was being treated for breast cancer, and I was pretty sure I was going to recover.
