LIFELINES: What's Up With Missy

When cancer makes a comeback. One woman's personal journey.

Missy Stein was 36 when breast cancer struck the first time. After surgery, chemo and tamoxifen, this mother of five had survived a disease that can be particularly aggressive in young women. Now, eight years later, the cancer is back. Missy is a good friend of NBC10's Tracy Davidson and she hosts a morning radio show on W.H.A.T. called "What's Up With Missy." Missy invited Tracy to help document her second battle with cancer and she invites you to follow along as well. It's a personal journey Missy wants to share to help other women feel empowered to know their bodies and to be their own advocates when it comes to their health.

You can follow Missy on Facebook and on Twitter and catch her "What's Up With Missy" show live each weekday morning on AM 1340 W.H.A.T radio.
