The "Great Walk to Beijing" was a fundraiser for my cancer center. It was a three-week trek with fellow cancer "thrivers," including celebrities ranging from Joan Rivers to Leeza Gibbons, and Olympians.

I love life and nothing intimidates me anymore.

There's a balance in my life, there's reality and there's the part that looks really glamorous, but we're all just people in the end.

We wake up and are grateful for the day. Not taking away from the pain, because the pain will be there. But you live on.

I'm an 18-years thriver, I call myself, not a survivor, because I feel like I'm in thriving my life even better than I ever have, and I want to encourage other women that are going through this journey that here I am.

When you have a cavity in your tooth and you let it get worse, eventually you have to get a root canal. If you have something that isn't right, the earlier you treat it the easier the treatment is going to be. That's kind of common sense.

I love that quiet time when nobody's up and the animals are all happy to see me.
