I began documenting my experience as a young cancer patient for GLAMOUR just weeks after I was diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia in 2001. These are all of my “Life with Cancer” columns:

Woman of the Year

In May 2012, I was named Woman of the Year for the New York City Chapter of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society after raising $180,000 in 10 weeks (with the help of countless others).
