Remembering Annie Goodman...

In her own words...
In September of 2014, I had the honor of meeting Triple Negative Breast Cancer stage 4 survivor, Annie Goodman, as we worked on a TNBC track together for TNBC Foundation at Living Beyond Breast Cancer Conference in Philadelphia. Annie spoke on a panel discussion during a TNBC session of her being diagnosed with a hereditary mutant gene BRCA1 after her Triple Negative Breast Cancer diagnosis.
Annie was a former Fox News producer but I knew her best as co-host of Stupid Cancer, a radio talk show for young cancer survivors.  Sadly, Annie's cancer had progressed and she passed at the young age of 33 on December 17, 2014, not even 3 months after meeting her.  I will always remember Annie for being a strong voice for young woman with breast cancer and bringing much awareness to hereditary breast cancer.
