Tina was first diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2006. Just two years after she beat it, she was rediagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in September 2008. In late January 2010, a PET Scan showed that the cancer in Tina’s organs (liver, lungs, chest nodules) had shrunk. Unfortunately, the cancer in her bones has spread. For much more information about breast cancer, go to www.komen.org. Tina is a 1995 graduate from Freehold Township High School and a 1999 graduate from Rutgers University. She has a six-year old daughter, Ashley, from a previous marriage.
