No Boobs About It

Jean Campbell is a two-time breast cancer survivor and former director of the American Cancer Society’s New York City patient Navigator Program.  Her story is compelling, from the heart and could even make you chuckle.  As cancer registrar’s we are very aware of the many heart wrenching stories of people who are diagnosed with this horrible disease.  However, with the bulk of our work happening behind the scenes, focusing on data collection and quality control we can become insulated against what is really happening to women and men who are diagnosed with this disease.  And, even with all the knowledge that we have, when it happens to one of us, or a member of our family, or friend, we react with the same emotions as everyone else.  Take a few minutes to check out Jean’s website and blog to put our work into perspective.
