Sob! I just came across this video and I have to share: Camila Isabel Vick, a sixth grader, wrote and performed the most beautiful song for her mom when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. The song's title? "Mama's Song."

"Hi, my name is Camila Vick," this adorable girl says at the opening, her big brown eyes breaking my heart wide open. "I'm in sixth grade and I wrote an original song for my mom. At the time that I wrote the song, she was going through breast cancer and I just wanted her to know she was going to be OK."

Sad news today out of Chicago. Famed movie reviewer and cancer survivor Roger Ebert announced a recurrence of cancer. He was first diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2002 and complications eventually left him without his lower jaw or the ability to speak or eat solid foods. Poor Roger has been through so much, it's heartbreaking to hear that now a cancer has been found in the hip he fractured in 2008. But Ebert isn't giving up yet, and has decided to make the most of his recovery time.

The scariest thing about a recent study examining the connection between heart disease and radiation in breast cancer treatment, if you ask me, is that experts can't seem to agree on what it means. We're talking 43 years of research involving 2,168 women -- resulting in evidence that radiation for breast cancer treatment does indeed increase women's risk of heart disease. Seems pretty cut and dry, right? Except, maybe not. It all boils down to one question: Do the benefits outweigh the risks?

I recently came to the realization that I may have no choice but to join the ranks of hundreds of thousands of cancer patients on this planet who don't fully beat cancer but don't die from it either. The patients who fall into the third option category. 

The ones who just learn to live with it.

Thirty-seven million American women get routine mammograms every year, and quite frequently, doctors find an abnormality, which leads to a biopsy. We hope that the biopsy results will turn out benign, but what if it's actually cancer? What if we're told it's cancer ... but it's NOT? That's the nightmare Judy Valencia from Saginaw, Michigan shared with Nightline's Cynthia McFadden this week ...

When Judy's doctors saw an abnormality on one of her mammograms, they told her to get a biopsy of her breast tissue. And based on the results of that biopsy, she was told she had cancer. Then, she was told she had two choices: A lumpectomy to remove the cancerous portion or a mastectomy to remove her entire breast. Because she had a strong family history of breast cancer, she ended up having both breasts removed. But when she couldn't retrieve paperwork from the hospital for her insurance, she hired a lawyer ... who found out through a specialist in NYC that Valencia never had the disease.

Gel manicures, have you heard of 'em? You know, the ones that don't chip and last twice as long as regular manicures? Well, there's new research that says gel manicures are a risk factor for skin cancer due to the UVA rays emitted from special UV drying lamps -- eeeeeek! Get this: two women who had no history of skin cancer developed tumors on their hands after getting frequent manis. OK, I'm definitely skeeved.

Yeah, I've only gotten two gel manicures in my life, but they were positively amazing. Both times my nails were dry instantly in the salon, the polish lasted for three FULL weeks, and I felt like my nails were shining as if I had gotten them done three seconds before the entire time.

No, the fact that these UV drying lamps can cause cancer doesn't make me want to run to the salon and get another one. But let's be real, though, what doesn't cause cancer these days?

Three months to live. I can't imagine how it would feel, being told I had as little as a handful of weeks left on this planet. I assume it would be scary and sad and frustrating. I assume it would make me angry or depressed or send me into a stubborn denial. That's what's so amazing to me about 73-year-old Valerie Harper. When the actress who won America's hearts as Rhoda Morgenstern on The Mary Tyler Moore Show (and later, the spinoff Rhoda) was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer on January 15th and given approximately three months to live by her doctors, she responded in the most admirable way imaginable:

"I don't think of dying," she said. "I think of being here now."

Wow. Harper's bravery and grace are nothing short of astounding. Of course, she's beat cancer before (lung cancer in 2009), but the particular form of brain cancer she's currently fighting is extremely rare and virtually incurable ...

When you think of a breast cancer charity effort, we tend to think of a lot of pink ... and crowds of women standing together to show support for one another's battles with the disease. But men are a valiant, integral part of the fight, as well. Case in point: Sgt. Charles Gallagher, a systems administrator with the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit and native of St. Cloud, Florida, participated in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Wilmington, North Carolina this past Saturday. He ran in support of his aunt, Kathleen Kennard, who is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer. 

Sgt. Gallagher told Marines.com: "My aunt is near and dear to me. This race is my way of showing support for the fight she is fighting. And for women in general who are in the same fight.” Good for him!
