Since my breast cancer diagnosis on June 9, 2008, I have spent a fairly decent amount of time wondering "why me?" I would like to hear from you about your cancer stories. Let's create a dialogue of learning, sharing and hope.

About Me
- Name: Ann DeMatteo
- Location: New Haven, CT, United States
Ann DeMatteo covers Hamden and North Haven for the New Haven Register. In her 30 years at the paper, she has written various stories about cancer-related issues, including the bladder cancer connection to the former Upjohn Co. plant in North Haven and the brain cancer cluster study currently underway for 250,000 current and former employees of Pratt & Whitney Aircraft. Breast cancer is slowing down her daily schedule, but is not stopping her creativity or her commitment to inform the public about their towns and now, about cancer causes, treatments and cures. She enjoys spending time with her boyfriend, friends and family, her twin niece and nephew, who are 5, and singing at karaoke.

Hi Ann, you look good as a redhead! Hope you have a nice Christmas, and I wish you well with your upcoming surgery. Whatever you choose, you have to do what feels right for you. I go for my 3rd chemo on the 28th, and I'll be 3/4 done. Hair is gone south, but the wig I got is so like my own cut that people don't know it's a wig unless I tell them. I feel good, and especially blessed this Christmas that my cancer was found very early and hadn't spread. Good luck to you.
Hi Ann,
Good Luck with your up cming surgery. I have been following your blog for a while now and I wish you nothing but luck.
Dear Relay Girl and Pink Too,
Sorry I didn't write sooner. I forgot my password and had to really think for a few minutes about what it was.
Pink Too, you have been so nice. I hope you had a decent chemo on Dec. 28. My hair is just starting to grow back. And it's good that your cancer was found early. Mine was not. Before chemo, we knew I had at least one lymph node involved but when she opened me up on Tuesday, there was multiple involvement, nodes that felt hard and abnormal. Relay girl, thanks for writing. Do you participate in Relay for Life?
