My Breast Cancer Diary in Pictures

How I lost my breast, got a haircut, and won a big prize

San Diego photographer Adriene Hughes, now 48, created a series of self-portraits chronicling her 2004 diagnosis with stage II estrogen-positive breast cancer and the treatment ordeal that followed. Adriene tells her story here in 12 photographs snapped at key points along her journey. Her complete photo-diary is at SoftServeGirl.com and in the book Archive of a Breast Cancer Survivor.
