Breast cancer survivor and activist Ann Marie Giannino-Otis spoke at the second annual GOPiNK seminar at Cornell Wednesday about her experiences with breast cancer and societal misconceptions surrounding the disease.
Giannino-Otis first spoke on the beginnings of her blog, “Stupid Dumb Breast Cancer,” where she writes and documents her experiences with breast cancer. Although the blog was originally intended for her family, Giannino-Otis said her readership eventually began to expand worldwide.
