Breast Cancer Survivor
and New York Best-Selling Author,
Nordies at Noon — the Personal Stories of Four Women “Too Young” for Breast Cancer

Using humor, high-energy and inspiration, breast cancer survivor Kim Becking shares how grace, grit and gratitude have allowed her to not just survive, but thrive through cancer and life’s uncertainty, changes and challenges. She fought it and with her friends and co-authors, wrote a NYT best-selling book, Nordies at Noon — the Personal Stories of Four Women “Too Young” for Breast Cancer. Kim along with her friends, Patti, Jennifer and Jana talked about their latest career moves, the men in their lives, and their dreams for family each month when they met for lunch at the cafe at their local Nordstrom department store. But unlike other women their age, their conversations also turned to more serious issues, issues their "non-breast cancer" friends couldn't have imagined or understood. Their breast cancer diagnoses came at very different phases of their young lives. Kim found her lump at age 30 while planning her son's second birthday party, and faced the issues of raising a toddler while she underwent treatment. Kim personal story, alike those of her friends, is remarkable as she uses her source of humor, strength, inspiration, and education to share the keys to “surviving & thriving,” while encouraging women everywhere to be proactive with their health and realize that no one is “too young" for breast cancer.
