Xeni Jardin, Boing Boing blogger, live-tweeted her first mammogram today. Unfortunately, about an hour ago she learned that she in fact has breast cancer. Many are wishing her well on Twitter. Here’s hoping that her bravery and candor inspires other women to get checked, and that she beats this thing. 

Sad news. Xeni filed for NPR at one time and I was lucky enough to work with her back then. The good news is that she has the energy and intelligence needed to successfully take this on. —Wright

Susannah Breslin recently wrote a blog post about her own mammogram and diagnosis, too. I hope that both of these amazing women kick cancer’s ass and take a few names on the way. Everything will be okay. 

Also, get your boobs checked, ladies. It’s better to know now than find out too late.
