I was honestly brushing some jelly doughnut dust off, Howe said. And I was like, Oh that's weird. She wasn't worried about it at first; a quick Google search told her that it's not uncommon for women in their thirties to get breast lumps.
Maybe I'd play forward in a Senior A (hockey) league. Maybe be the Toronto Sceptres' emergency backup if they needed me to. My wife and I were trying to get pregnant, Howe said. I can't do these things: I physically can't, I mentally can't.
In the months since her diagnosis, Howe has used her platform to raise awareness and money for cancer research. An online fundraiser she started last week has already raised over $21,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society.
As much as she may not like it, I know that it will give us all a great sense of accomplishment to show her that there's lots of people thinking of her.
