Visiting anyone post-surgery for the first time can be traumatic.

You never know what's going to happen so just enjoy the moments that you have with the people you love and cherish them. Let them know that you love them and how much you appreciate them being in your life.

Having a mother with an illness and being there for her, and being there for my children I just realize how precious life is.

If we can forgive, it will help us to grow and not remain stagnant in the same place. Then we can move on without animosity and hurt feelings.

If you can't get pregnant for whatever reason, it's great to know that there are options available for people that want to have a family.

I'm just so grateful I had a wonderful surrogate who carried our two children. I have two amazing angels in my life that I love so much. They are such a gift and a blessing from God.

I love when we just let our hair down, get a little goofy and just be girls.

I don't need to drink to have a good time with the ladies.

Listen, not all of us are proud of what we say or do at times.

I've learned It 's better to address conflicts head on and then move on.

Sometimes I've said things that I shouldn't have.

Certain family matters should always remain private within the family.

It's in poor taste to question anyone's illness diagnosed through specific testing by their doctor.

Lyme disease is very debilitating. Being from the East Coast I know Lyme disease is quite common and may lay dormant and may produce flu-like symptoms, as well as neurological issues.

I unfortunately tested positive for Lynch Syndrome, so I have been checked at least annually and sometimes twice a year.

I am the third generation of women in my family to be struck with a gynecologic cancer. Because of this legacy, we have been genetically tested.

At the end of the day what matters most is that we can cut through the pettiness and drama when it really counts and support each other.

Due to my genetic predisposition to certain cancers and having experienced the travails of my mom and grandmother in their battles against this awful disease, I wanted to use my platform to raise awareness and funds for crucial research for these below-the-belt cancers.

I am very grateful to have beaten my cancer, but it has been tough adjusting to my new normal.

In Sept of 2013 I was diagnosed as having an aggressive form of stage 2 endometrial cancer. I underwent a rigorous treatment program that included a radical hysterectomy followed with chemo and radiation therapy.

I would encourage all women to get mammograms when their doctors tell them to.

If you come into my house, it looks like I went to Costco and Dylan's Candy and every candy store and I just have glass jars filled with chocolate. I just love chocolate.

I'm going to try to not eat any more dark chocolate, and that's going to be very, very hard for me because I'm completely addicted to dark chocolate.

I feel so blessed. I have two wonderful children, and I'm channeling my energy and my experience to help others.
