Most people in Canada have heard of Belinda Stronach, the young, pretty female politician who rose to fame and famously switched from one opposing political party to the other at the height of her career (getting caught up in a tabloid frenzy over her love life along the way), only to quit politics altogether in April. Where I'm from--a notoriously conservative area--there's a lot of anger towards her, though that has been overshadowed by the revelation this week that she's been privately battling breast cancer for the past few months. Stronach is battling DCIS -- ductal carcinoma in situ -- which is one of the more treatable forms of breast cancer, and she's had a mastectomy and breast reconstruction since her diagnosis in April.
Love her or hate her, I wish her the best in her fight with the big C. What about you?
