From CBC Radio 3: Vancouver's Biff Naked who was married just a few months ago, announced on the Strombo Show this weekend that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
"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," said the Juno-winning musician, whose real name is Beth Torbert. "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."
Unlike many of her colleagues in the music business, Torbert has led a relatively healthy lifestyle - she is a vegan and a non-smoker who sticks to a stringent workout schedule.
She made the announcement hoping that it would encourage other women to do breast self-examinations and to get regular mammograms.
