I was diagnosed with breast cancer on 7/08/2008. I started with blog not long after. Back then it was an outlet for me and my thoughts while keeping my friends and family informed on my fight. Now I focus on being a breast cancer survivor and breast cancer awareness.
Melissa was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004. I clearly remember her bald performance on the 2005 Grammy Awards show. I thought - wow, I could never do that. Well, it was only a few years later that I made the choice to be out in public bald. I'm glad it wasn't in front of millions. Here's a video of Melissa talking about her breast cancer fight and how it affected her music.
Here is that 2005 Grammy performance
Here are the full versions of the two songs she talks about in the video
