A Pause in Performing to Fight and Heal from Breast Cancer, Stage 1 HER2+3


Wonderful People, I have been diagnosed with Stage 1, grade 2, HER2 triple positive breast cancer and will be taking somewhat of a break in my busy schedule of music and fun (!) in order to handle this issue handily early on. It is early and I am pissed and sad and optimistic! Chemo is scheduled to start in early November so any students who want to continue with me during this time, we’ll meet online!

If you don’t see my signature crazy curly hair, this is why!

BTW - I’m up for suggestions on wig styles ~ and I’ll need suggestions on my eyebrows for sure! So reach out…

All gigs I post going forward will be on a flexible basis ~ but I plan to get out there and sing as much as I can while I’m recovering all along the way. We’ll see when I get there! I hear some women tolerate this well. I hope I’m one of them.

I may start an online studio concert time over here if I get too bored and still have energy. So you ain’t heard the last of me yet!

I’m in good hands between the VA and John Muir Walnut Creek and I can still use all the positive energy and prayer you’d like to send up. Thanks ~ and again, I’m optimistic.
