  1. Things happen for a reason

    My name is Michelle Allman (a.k.a. Lady Mea) - President/CEO of Karibbean Under One Magazine (KUOM), and I am a nine year Breast Cancer survivor. Allow me to share my thoughts….my pain….my story. Nine years ago, I heard the most frightening words that no woman wishes to hear "You have breast cancer". As I struggled to absorb the news and began to consider what options I had, it just didn't make any sense, because I never thought I would ever hear those words. Six months prior my oldest sister Valerie was diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer (which begins in the lymphatic cells of the immune system and presents as a solid tumor of lymphoid cells). As I coped with my sister having cancer, I remember thinking to myself, how would I handle something like that? Because I couldn't image what was going through in her mind. As faith would have it, that time did come, and all I could remember were well-meaning friends and colleagues showering me with advice, "get a second opinion," "think positive," talk to someone who's going or been through it." It all sounded reasonable, but was it the best advice for me? That's something I had to decide for myself. Like every woman with breast cancer, you will be faced with so many challenges.

  3. Non-Invasive Surgery New Option For Breast Cancer Patients

    A new study suggests a less invasive breast cancer surgery is just as effective as more extensive surgery for certain patients.  The sentinel procedure removes only the sentinel node: the first lymph node where the cancer would likely spread.
