BONDVILLE -- A breast cancer survivor sheds new light on the deadly disease by hosting a "Tea for Three." The name is to bring awareness to triple negative cancer.

Debi Bliss was diagnosed with it two years ago. She was in her mid-forties when it hit, but says it usually hits younger women and minorities.

Triple negative cancer is a type that attacks a woman's estrogen, progesterone and another gene called Her2/neu. The money raised from the tea will go to the foundation for research. Bliss hopes the event will put the seriousness of triple negative cancer on the minds of others.
