Moderators

Hi Cyber Friends, Today Breastcancer.org was contacted by Alexandra Avakian, a photojournalist with many publications including the New York Times, Life, Newsweek, and Paris Match. Alexandra has covered conflicts in areas across the globe including the former Soviet Union, the Middle East, Africa, and Eastern Europe.Two years ago, after witnessing so much of other people’s difficulty, Alexandra was diagnosed with breast cancer.  For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, she shares her story and photos in today’s New York Times “Lens” blog: http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/01/behind-18/ National Geographic recently published Alexandra’s book, “Windows of the Soul: My Journeys in the Muslim World.”   We hope you take a moment to look at the blog, and talk with others about it. Best,Melissa and the Breastcancer.org Team
