Thought I'd pass this along.
From the article:
VANCOUVER - Vancouver rocker Bif Naked has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
The platinum-selling singer broke the news today in a candid radio interview with George Stroumboulopoulos. It comes just three months after her highly-publicized wedding to The Vancouver Sun’s sports writer, Ian Walker.
Naked, whose real name is Beth Torbert, is 36. She leads a healthy lifestyle, working out regularly and maintaining a vegan diet.
"It is a very surreal situation for Ian and I at this time. Two weeks ago I was doing a self breast exam and discovered a lump. I went into my doctor for a checkup and he immediately sent me for tests, including a mammogram, which indicated a high possibility of cancer," she told Stroumboulopoulos on The Strombo Show.
"From there things have gone at what seems like light speed: biopsy, blood tests, cancer clinic. It’s been two weeks from being completely healthy to cancer patient with surgery, radiation and chemotherapy scheduled."
Naked vows to take things "one day at a time" and to tackle the situation with a positive attitude.
"I have never been one to give up when an obstacle is placed in front of me. I am in the fight of my life and I’m lucky to have the support of my husband Ian, and many friends, and family members. With the help of my BodogMusic family I plan to continue working on these recording projects in between the cancer treatments and come out the other side with two great albums and a clean bill of health."
"I’m glad it’s me and not my mom," she continued. "I’m glad its me and not my sister; I’m glad its me and not any of my friends. I am ready for the fight."
Naked is currently in pre-production on two new albums: her sixth album, following her 2005 release Superbeautifulmonster; and a second recording project, Jakkarta, with Spanish-born, death-metal guitarist La Machina.
"It is important for everyone to understand that cancer is non discriminatory and even those in great health can be subject to cancer as a diagnosis," the singer adds. "I urge all women at every age to self examine and go for scheduled mammograms. Early detection is the best tool in the fight against cancer."

I'm not a big fan of her music but she's a cool person. Bummer.
I'm sure she'll kick the cancers @$$.
