On October 8, 2015, Victoria Jackson was getting ready for her 45-minute standup routine at Zanie's Comedy Club in Nashville. But instead of enjoying the pre-show excitement, she was laying on the couch in the green room coughing nonstop, drinking tea with lemon and honey, and sucking on cough drops. But being told she had cancer was her scariest moment. She shares her story in her newest book Lavender Hair: 21 Devotions for Women with Breast Cancer. Join Vicky on Life Lessons as she:
? Wonders why me? And if her lollipop addiction caused the cancer? Writes a ukulele song in the MRI waiting room? Undergoes a double mastectomy with secret messages written in permanent marker to her doctor on her chest and stomach? Goes through chemotherapy, radiation, baldness, and lavender hair? Performs at Zanies to a standing ovation nearly one year after her diagnosis
