What an inspiration to the millions of people living with this disease to see a young, vibrant woman who is continuing to live her life during treatment. All good things to her.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body
So insipiring and so brave. All my best wishes to her and her family.
I'm also so glad she's shedding light to this issue of going through an elective mammogram. As someone who has gone through a similar ordeal, if you can, please be proactive about your health!
I tremendously admire and appreciate Mandy Gonzalez for sharing information publicly about her breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, all while continuing to perform on Broadway. I'm truly sorry that she's had to deal with this and wish her the best possible care, health and wellbeing.
