Just after arriving home from a support group meeting with other breast cancer moms with little kids where we’d been talking about just this issue, I got an email about a new, free app Celgene developed to help families facing that discussion. They created The Magic Tree app (download it at magictreebreastcancer.com or from the App Store or Google Play Store) for kids who are I would be remiss not to point out that while men can get breast cancer, this app is designed with a mom as the cancer patient.

It’s hard to celebrate, knowing how many won’t get that chance.
I’ve said it here before. I love when I struggle to write a piece, and in doing so, I learn something about myself
