Anna Rathkopf was diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer. She was 37.
She was suddenly unable to express herself, temporarily cut off from the day-to-day. As she puts it, she felt she was 'no longer a driver in my own story.' So she turned to what she best understood. Already an accomplished photographer she began documenting that story with her camera, taking hundreds of images over seven years.
Her husband Jordan - also a highly skilled photographer, had no idea what she was doing initially. Anna's original idea was to capture memories for their little boy - just in case.
But now the couple, who live with their son in Brooklyn, New York, have just published their photographic story as a remarkable book titled, 'HER2, The Diagnosed, The Caregiver And Their Son'. And it's already attracting huge media acclaim around the world.
It's a visual story, unaffected by language barriers, to illustrate the real, unfiltered story of #cancerunder50.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
