"We gently tender a new life into this world, it seems only natural to gently tender a tired and weary life out." Suzane Piela "Bald is beautiful. If Capt. Jean-Luc Picard, Michael Jordan, and Youl Brynner can look good bald, why can't I?" Laura Jensen Walker

Are you or is someone you know confronting cancer?

When Laura Jensen Walker was diagnosed with breast cancer on her first wedding anniversary, this was certainly not part of her happy-ever-after plan and she thought her world was coming to an end. During her darkest and scariest moments, Laura always managed a good word, a smile and never lost her faith. She discovered that while cancer isn't funny, humor is healing and that laughter really helps. "From baldly going to where I'd never gone before to losing thirty pound in thirty day the chemodiet way, humor has been an effective weapon in my fight against this disease." For any woman confronting the disease, this show is about the importance of having a good attitude, taking responsibility to be as knowledgeable as possible for knowledge is power, surrounding yourself with a good support group, keeping the faith, and using humor regularly to stimulate your immune system. Early detection is the key so be sure to get your mammogram.
