Healthline: Top Breast Cancer Blog of 2015

Who's behind the blog

Nicole McLean started My Fabulous Boobies to write honestly about her breast cancer journey — the hard parts and the funny ones. Her voice is personal and unfiltered, built on the idea that survivorship deserves both real talk and real laughs.

The blog was recognized by Healthline as its Top Breast Cancer Blog of 2015, a nod to Nicole's candid storytelling and the community that grew around it.

What the blog is about

Posts trace lessons learned since the journey began, along with encouragement for women newly diagnosed. Topics range from breast self-exam tips and lymphedema to broader conversations, including a 2015 post on race and racism in America. Community support, survivorship tips, and honest reflection sit at the center of it all.

  • Personal essays on treatment, recovery, and everyday life after diagnosis.
  • Practical survivorship tips shared from experience.
  • Commentary on social issues connected to health and daily life.

This blog shares personal experience and perspective — it is not medical advice.
