Children?s author Judy Blume says she was diagnosed with breast cancer over the summer but is ?feeling stronger every day? after surgery.
The 74-year-old Blume wrote on her blog Wednesday that she learned in June that she had cancer and underwent a mastectomy and reconstruction in late July.
She writes that she now walks a couple of miles each morning and dines out at night. Blume hopes to begin writing again soon.
She noted that her cancer hadn?t been detected by a mammogram or regular physical exam because she has dense breast tissue. Her message for women in a similar situation: Get a sonogram.
Bloom?s books include ?Are You There, God? It?s Me, Margaret??, ?Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing? and ?Deenie.?
