My Quote in a Health.com Article

Health.com is the web affiliate of Health Magazine; and this month, I was used as a source for an article written by Anne Krueger called “The Survivor Files: Amazing Women Share Their Breast Cancer Journeys.”

Here’s the paragraph on me:

Connecticut mother of three Karen Lynch, who writes for pinkribbonreview.com, appears to have survived breast cancer with her sense of humor intact. Through two bouts with the disease, a double mastectomy, and a TRAM flap reconstruction, she has blogged about everything from breast nicknames (she dubbed her perky reconstructed duo “Barbie breasts” because they have no nipples) to tricks for keeping cancer anxiety from rubbing off on your kids. Karen is frank about how her body image has evolved: “What matters is that I’m here. My body is just my body.”

Here’s a link to the article; the page you get to should look like this:

I’m so happy they used that quote of mine … it is one of the facets of survivorship that I am most proud of and it bears repeating:

“What matters is that I’m here. My body is just my body.”
