I had cancer




I'm Megan. In Dec. 2012, I was diagnosed with stage 3A HER2+ (aka scary) breast cancer at the tender age of 33. My son was 5 years old and my daughter was a 10.5-month-old baby at the time. I went through two rounds of chemo, surgery, and radiation, and thanks to Herceptin, a recent miracle drug targeted to my specific flavor of breast cancer, my odds of recurrence are low.

Stuff that rocks



This Needham-based nonprofit started by two brothers in honor of their mother, Eleanor, helps hundreds of breast cancer patients every year with groceries, childcare, and housecleaning.



The SAMFund helps young adults cancer survivors (under 40 when diagnosed) with issues relating to health care, financial issues, resuming life post-cancer, and much more. They also give out grants twice per year.



True North Treks takes young adult cancer survivors and caretakers on wilderness treks with no upfront financial commitment. I've been canoeing in Utah and backpacking in Idaho with this fantastic group.
