WGME and WCSH cover lecture by breast cancer fighter, author Ann Murray Paige

WGME13 and WCSH6 TV covered a UNE-hosted lecture by breast cancer fighter, author, filmmaker Ann Murray Paige at the Portland Campus Oct. 23, 2011.

Paige, a Mainer and former anchor with WCSH6, Portland, became an unwilling filmmaker, a breast cancer fighter, the author of two books, and an expert blogger after her surprise diagnosis of breast cancer while in her 30s.  Her film, "The Breast Cancer Diaries" is an unscripted and sometimes humorous documentary of her diagnosis and the year that followed. This past summer she published Pink Tips, Breast Cancer Advice from Someone Who's Been There, culling her 50 best tips that got her through the worst year of her life.

A number of local news anchors attended the event. Following her lecture, Paige signed copies of Pink Tips. Watch the WGME video.
