"My 56th birthday started like many others with a traditional family barbecue. After some discussion with my son about the proper way to light a barbecue, I ended up with singed hair. In an attempt to rid myself of the smell, I took a shower. And that's where I found the lump in my breast.

I was hoping for chocolate. Instead, I got cancer."

Thank you, Kleo, for all that you do and for the wonderful care you give!

Video: Nadia's Cancer Story (Personality)

When Nadia was diagnosed with breast cancer, she decided to throw a scarf-making and hair-cutting party with her closest supporters. Twenty-four inches of dreadlocks fell to the floor as her husband, daughter and friends took turns cutting piece by piece.
