The breast cancer survivor opens up about her lifelong battle with hypochondria, OCD and anxiety. She talks about the emotional toll of infertility, having a miscarriage and the ensuing depression as well as her double mastectomy and hysterectomy (she has the BRCA 2 Gene) and the perspectives she gained by having gone through all of it. Not a downer, I swear!
