As Prinzmetal Angina is a rare disease the medications and testing are rarely covered by insurance. The doctors worked hard in the Cardiac ICU to keep her stable and alive but it racked up 150k medical debt plus ongoing medications, testing, and hospitalizations.Her cardiologist is very supportive of her career and has a different regimen of medication on days she shoots videos or has a show. He sometimes will even show up if she's not doing well. She is blessed with the best medical team in the country for Prinzmetal which involves her Cardiologist, the whole Cedars cardiology team, and a specialist in Prinzmetal at the Mayo Clinic.
The condition is not only rare, it's dangerous and unpredictable so she makes the most of every good day and does what she loves, as well as caring for her habitat of pets that comfort her on bad days. She is dependent on 13 medications for her heart and to suppress her immune system. She requires a very expensive nitroglycerin spray for heart spasms. Her testing is ongoing as they monitor the health of heart during flares for damage. She will have this the rest of her life but she is grateful to be here. Depending on hormones and histamines and luck she has good days to offset the bad. She doesn't know which it will be.

In 2024, more than 360,000 people will be diagnosed with breast cancer (via National Breast Cancer Foundation). Advancements in early detection methods and support continue to increase the chances of survival. When caught in its earliest, localized stages, the 5-year relative survival rate of breast cancer is 99%.
How to detect breast cancer early
Regular screenings
A screening mammogram can be used to check for breast cancer in people who have no signs or symptoms of the disease.
At-home self exam
A breast self-exam is an early detection tool that uses a combination of physical and visual examinations of the breasts to check for signs and symptoms of breast cancer.
Know your family history
Family health history can help determine if you have a higher risk of developing a disease, such as cancer
Consult your doctor
If you detect something, or would like to know more about your risk of getting breast cancer, consult your doctor.
Stay informed
It is important to stay informed of the latest risk factors, treatments, and more.
Resources for Those Affected
- American Cancer Society: Offers a wealth of information on breast cancer, including treatment options, support groups, and financial assistance.
- The Musicians Cancer Fund @ Sweet Relief: This fund was developed to offer support and resources to musicians and music industry workers currently battling or recovering from all forms of cancer and other extremely debilitating illnesses and injuries.
- Susan G. Komen Foundation: Provides educational resources, funding for research, and support services for patients and their families.
- National Breast Cancer Foundation: NBCF’s mission is to help women now by providing help and inspiring hope to those affected by breast cancer through early detection, education and support services.

As we observe Breast Cancer Awareness Month, let us remember the importance of regular check-ups and stay informed about advancements in treatment. By raising awareness, providing resources, and promoting education, we can empower individuals to take charge of their health and contribute to the ongoing fight against breast cancer.
Together, we can spread hope, support one another, and make a meaningful difference.

“I have been honored to work with Aric for nearly 15 years now and it has been a joy to watch him grow into the leader and business partner he is today. When our previous Executive Director, Rob Max, passed away in 2017, Aric fluidly began to fill the role without even being asked. It is long overdue that in 2024 we are officially giving Aric the title of Executive Director at Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, as he has been embodying that position for many years now. I look forward to an extraordinary future with Aric where Sweet Relief will continue to help more & more musicians and music industry workers in need.” ~ Bill Bennett, President Sweet Relief Musicians Fund

I see a bright future for Sweet Relief as we continue to grow and help more musicians and music industry professionals every year.
