Alicia Rose Parlette (January 11, 1982〔Parlette, Alicia. ("Alicia's Story: Chapter 16" ), ''San Francisco Chronicle'', January 23, 2006. Retrieved April 24, 2010〕 – April 22, 2010) was a journalist and copy editor who was diagnosed with alveolar soft part sarcoma in 2005 while employed by the ''San Francisco Chronicle'' newspaper. At the age of 16, Parlette began experiencing pain in the area of her right hip that forced her to drop out of cross country running. An MRI scan revealed a spot that was interpreted as a hemangioma. Six years later, after she developed a severe cough, further scans showed spots in her lungs. Half a year later, she developed a lump in her right breast, which was excised and biopsied, leading to the correct diagnosis of the cancer she had probably been carrying for at least seven years.〔 After learning of being afflicted with this rare form of cancer, Parlette began a diary of her treatment titled "Alicia's Story",〔Parlette, Alicia. ("Alicia's Story" ), ''San Francisco Chronicle'', June 5, 2005. Retrieved April 8, 2008.〕 the first installment of which was carried by the ''San Francisco Chronicle'' on June 5, 2005. The series won Parlette the Laxalt Distinguished Writer Award in 2005. The first seven installments of the series were published as a book of the same name in 2005.〔 On March 9, 2007, the ''San Francisco Chronicle'' published the final installment of "Alicia's Story" under the title "Cancer. Despair. And now, a blog."〔Parlette, Alicia. ("Alicia's Story: Cancer. Despair. Faith. And now, a blog." ), ''San Francisco Chronicle'', March 9, 2007. Retrieved April 8, 2008〕 In this installment, Parlette explained that she no longer would remain a "full-fledged employee of Hearst Newspapers"〔 and instead would be continuing to share her story as a public blog on the ''Chronicles website. On August 17, 2007, Parlette posted her last entry on the website. ==Appearances and health updates== On November 13, 2008, Parlette attended a book reading by Kelly Corrigan and was reported by another cancer survivor as doing well, "she looks healthy and vibrant". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alicia Parlette」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
