When Michelle Kingsfield was 14 weeks pregnant with her second son she was diagnosed with stage IV non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.  As a news anchor in Dayton, Ohio she decided to share her story with the thousands of people who watched her regularly on television.  The Dayton Daily News followed her story as she went through six rounds of intense chemotherapy and delivery.

 Ms. Kingsfield was also featured on Good Morning America.  In March 2006 she authored the story of her cancer experience that appeared in O, The Oprah Magazine.  Since then she has been sharing tips on how to support someone who is fighting cancer or is a cancer survivor.
