Kira Hodgson was diagnosed at 31 with Stage III, estrogen and progesterone positive breast cancer.  Kira writes about what happens when you are literally the only one in your friend group that has had to deal with something as serious as cancer.  Kira came face to face with what this new reality looked like one day at Dolores Park in San Francisco.  She asks, can we still be friends when I know the truth about how fragile life can be?  Today, Kira is reading a piece she wrote for Wildfire Magazine’s 2021 “Bay Area Young Survivors” issue, “A Fragile Invincibility.”
