Breast cancer diagnosis motivates Tampa Bay woman to start magazine

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and there is a woman in St. Pete who not only survived her diagnosis but used it to motivate her into pursuing her dream job. Bridgette Bello is a writer, and if she had to type out the most challenging year of her life, she wouldn’t have writer’s block. “In June 2017 I was diagnosed with breast cancer,” said Bello. “It was very, very scary, I was 47, had no family history, no reason to suspect that, I still have no family history, I’m still the only one in my family.”
