Through my attempt to get pregnant through IVF, we sadly found out that I have early stages of breast cancer. It's been a shock.

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.

I started realizing I could be an example for women to not just be aware of breast cancer but to act on it. To make an appointment, to give themselves an exam.

I want to encourage everyone to be proactive with their health and get checked out.

You can never take your reputation back. There really is nothing as powerful as a good reputation.

I look in the mirror and it's hard for me. I am really thin. I want to look fit and beautiful and sexy, and I can't.

I wasn't prepared to get a mammogram until I was 40 years old, like I'd been told. I never in my wildest dreams expected anything to be wrong.
