Melissa Etheridge Beats Breast Cancer

In an interview that aired Wednesday night on the syndicated TV show Extra, the "Lucky" crooner announced that she has made a full recovery since undergoing a successful lumpectomy last October after being diagnosed with the disease and being forced to scrap a concert tour. (E!Online)

Editor's Comment: We can't think of a better way to kick off our Breast Cancer blog than by posting the fantastic news of Etheridge's recovery. She's been a positive voice in the fight against breast cancer and has hopefully inspired women around the world to do breast self-exams on a regular basis in order to catch the disease in its early stages.
