Oh, no! Beloved young adult author Judy Blume has revealed on her personal blog that she is currently battling breast cancer. The Are You There, God? It?s Me, Margaret author writes that this summer she intended to spend four weeks at an artists? retreat at a castle in Umbria, Italy, finishing her next book. But instead Blume was diagnosed with breast cancer and hastily made plans to undergo a mastectomy and reconstruction surgery. It has been a month post-surgery and she?s back to writing and ?feeling stronger every day.? ?Judging by her blog post, she seems to be in high spirits ? ?she even cracked a small boobs/Are You There, God? joke with her doctor. (The doc didn?t get it.) Our thoughts and prayers are with Judy Blume and we have every hope she makes a full recovery! [Judy Blume Blog]
