Actress Krysta Rodriguez Starts Blog after Cancer Diagnosis

| March 9, 2015 Comment

Actress Krysta Rodriguez Blogs to Inspire Cancer Patients after Her Own Diagnosis – Two months after turning 30, Rodriguez was diagnosed with breast cancer, and in an interview, she says the diagnosis didn’t seem real to her.

At the time of diagnosis, Krysta Rodriguez, who starred in shows like Smash and Broadway musicals, was directing a musical at her old high school in Southern California. She says that having such a creative outlet helped her to deal with the news, and though, initially, she didn’t make the diagnosis public, she later decided to start a blog, ChemoCouture, to share her story, and inspire other women going through breast cancer. On the blog, she also shares beauty and fashion tips for cancer patients.

Rodriguez has stage 2B invasive ductal carcinoma, and needs to go through several rounds of chemotherapy. Her diagnosis was surprising because this type of breast cancer is rare in women her age, and she also has no family history, nor does she have the BRCA1 and 2 genetic mutations.

With her fashion blog, Rodiguez wants to help women going through breast cancer feel good about their body, and offers advice on natural beauty treatments that work for women undergoing chemotherapy.
