On September 8th, 2009 I saw Franti in Flagstaff, AZ at the Orpheum. This was the day before a surgery. I am a 2 and a half year breast cancer survivor. I found another lump in my armpit and was scheduled for surgery the day before the concert. I was not going to attend because the flu was going around and I didn't want to expose myself to it.

The morning of the concert I woke up and thought to myself life is short and enjoy it while you can. I definately could use some stress relief.I also had a feeling that "I was going to get up on stage."

I saw Franti the previous April and had a great time....
