Andrea Raynor has seen her share of suffering. She served as chaplain to the morgue at Ground Zero in the aftermath of September 11th, and she is currently a hospice chaplain. The challenges that Raynor has faced uniquely qualify her to discuss and advise on the similarities and differences of losing a loved one unexpectedly through unanticipated tragedy, versus the (relatively) long goodbye of an illness, and, most importantly, how to support those left behind in each case. In this interview, Andrea addresses precisely these topics, among others, as well as shares some of the stories of her incredible life.

Join us as breast cancer survivors Jennifer J. and Jamie Hyslope share the nitty gritty details of what it’s *really* like to have breast cancer. Nipple origami? Areola tattoos? These are routine in the lives of breast cancer patients, and you ain’t heard nothing yet! These two brave women are baring all – and sharing all – to give you a real view into the breast cancer journey. It isn’t all pink ribbons and races, and they are letting you into the inner circle. Ask them anything, and be prepared to be shocked, amazed, and, above all, deeply moved.

What is the truth about cell phones and radiation? While many will tell you that the jury is out – and others will tell you that there is no (conclusive) evidence – many feel that cellphone use presents a health risk in electromagnetic (ionizing) radiation, particularly for children. The reality is that short term studies have found no correlation between cell phone radiation and health problems such as cancer, however the other reality is that there are no long term studies (say, of greater than 10 years) yet, as it is only relatively recently that cellphones have been so commonplace. Of course, the cell phone industry says there is no risk – but that’s what the tobacco industry said too. Now the state of Maine is contemplating requiring cell phones to carry a warning label.
