A life of deadlines and breaking stories, Boston-based television reporter Kelli O'Hara

has seen it all but nothing prepared her for the devastating news that at 38-years old

she has breast cancer.

"Lately, I just start crying for no reason or I get really angry for no reason."

Her diagnosis came as she and her husband Jason were trying to have a baby.

They were having trouble conceiving so a doctor ordered several tests, including a mammogram.

That's when they found the lump.

"One of my doctor's said your child has potentially saved your life."

She's undergoing intense radiation but through all her treatments a huge question remains.

"Can we still have a family?"

Kelli's doctor, Dr. Ann Partridge says these struggles facing younger women can be extremely

difficult.

"So because young women are diagnosed at a time in their lives where they haven't quite

made it yet with regard to either their careers, their family planning, their school, their

partnering, all kinds of stuff, they're very vulnerable."

A recent study highlights challenges but did offer encouragement.

Looking at a large number of women, it found about 65-percent who tried to get pregnant

in the five years after a breast cancer diagnosis were able to do so.

Dr. Partridge is working with Kelli about options to fight her cancer and increase her

chances of someday having a baby.

Kelli's undergone fertility treatments but has reservations about taking the cancer drug

tamoxifin.

"The problem now is that the drug they want us to go on, you can't have children while

you are taking this drug.

It can cause birth defects."

First she will focus on her radiation treatments.

She's still working, taking each day as a blessing and not giving up on her hope that

one day, she and Jason will be able to start their family.

"When you see someone you love hurting, that's the hardest part.

It's been a tough couple of months but I'm lucky.

I'm lucky that they caught it and I'm lucky that I have my husband and my family and I

want folks to know if it can happen to me, it can happen to you."

If you are a younger woman with breast cancer, Dana-Farber has a lot of resources to help.

William Forsythe's "The Fact of Matter" | Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston - Duration: 2:13.

"The Fact of Matter" is something that you could look at and watch other people

decide to go into it, or you could decide yourself to actually go into "The Fact of

Matter." "The Fact of Matter" was designed to give you a sort of unadorned sense of

three things, which was your weight and your coordination and your strength, and

it looks pretty benign. It looks pretty simple, a bunch of rings hanging, how hard

could it actually be? Well in fact once you put yourself into this, let's call it

a system, you will discover that these three qualities—your strength, your

weight, and your coordination—are not as unified as you'd like them to probably

be in this situation. On the other hand, you can watch other people do it and

think about their strategies. I think it's interesting to to look at it a

bit like encouraging people at a sports event, going like, "No no, you should put

your foot there ,you should put your hand there," and consider their choices.

For the people inside fact of matter you'll discover that it really is a strategic project

You're going to have to develop a strategy, and there won't be really

much, let's say, processing space in your head for other things like your tax returns

or what to eat for dinner because it's going to take a lot of concentration.

Maybe that's the advantage of it, that it focuses you on one thing

very, very intensely.

William Forsythe's "A Volume" | Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston - Duration: 1:31.

This is "A Volume, within which it is Not Possible for Certain Classes of Action

to Arise." Looking at the Volume from the outside is certainly not the same as

being in the Volume on the inside. What it does is compress you. It inhibits your

freedom of action, your motion; it only allows certain postures. There's a limit.

You can't stretch in some postures, and I have to say that many people will not be

able to even sit up straight. It is, I think, primarily a metaphor. Something

like this could provide an ample metaphor for time, political structures,

social structures—anything that indeed might not allow certain

classes of action to arise.
