Other Articles and Podcasts by Dr. Amy Rothenberg

I am pleased to have the opportunity to share a bit about my 2014, which by most anyone’s account would be considered a bit of a dud. But due to a combination of an uncanny ability to make lemonade from lemons and decades cultivating habits of resilience, I actually got a lot out of my crazy cancer year. There were some significant bumps in the road, don’t get me wrong; but I knew when I entitled my first Huffington Post piece on the topic, Say Goodbye to the Girls, I was probably going to be just fine. For a full accounting, read my 2014 blog postings here: http://dramyrothenberg.blogspot.com.
