good morning, america. and breaking news, president obama meeting pope francis for the first time in an historic meeting. will the president invite the people's pope to the u.s.? and why he feels a special bond with the pontiff. we are live from the vatican. and breaking overnight, a massive bust at l.a.x. airport workers arrested on the job accused of stealing from luggage. officers went undercover as baggage handlers to execute the sting. you won't believe how blatant the thieves were. take a look at this picture. a world trade center security guard asleep on the job. coming just days after a teenager climbed to the top and b.a.s.e. jumpers released this video. raising more questions about just how secure the building really is. >> i'm going to die right here.

the dramatic rescue caught on tape. this morning, the construction worker who narrowly escaped death speaks out. what was going through his mind as that wall of flames closed in on him? >> oh, no, oh, no. and we do say good morning, america. george wrapping up a little spring break for him. the weather is not helping this morning in the search for missing flight 370. new satellite images appear to show hundreds of pieces of debris. we've known that, but nothing has been found yet and planes have been grounded today because of the weather. >> david kerley will have an update for us in just a moment. also this morning, that historic meeting in the vatican city between president obama and the pope. of course, you and i had the opportunity, the honor, a very humbling honor and there we are

meeting pope francis just a few months ago, a beautiful and really quite peaceful experience. >> it really was. it was his wednesday audience shortly before christmas. well, this morning, president obama is meeting pope francis and abc's jonathan karl is there in vatican city with the president. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this is president obama's second visit to the vatican. but his first meeting with pope francis. they met nearly an hour one-on-one in the vatican library before the president brought in the rest of the u.s. delegation including secretary of state john kerry, jay carney and susan rice, the national security adviser. the white house has said the president hoped to use this meeting to get to know pope francis, somebody who he has clearly been fascinated by as most of us in the united states are and he has expressed gratitude to the pope for his commitment to social justice and equality. pope francis never set foot in the united states before but i would not be surprised to see

coming out of this a formal invitation from the president for pope francis to visit the united states. >> we certainly do hope he takes that invitation and comes here to the u.s. jon, president obama's policies, many of them are not in line with the catholic church so what is the meeting like, the relationship like with the pope? >> reporter: well, clearly they don't see eye to eye on many social issues such as gay marriage and abortion, but there is a lot of common ground between this president and this pope, particularly on the issue of income inequality and social justice. you know, the president gave a big speech on poverty late last year and he quoted the pope, the quote was "how can it be that it is not a news item when an elderly homeless person dies of exposure but it is news when the stock market loses two points?" so while the pope and the president don't see eye to eye on a lot of those social issues there is certainly common cause on the issue of equality and fighting poverty as a moral issue. >> and, again, we certainly hope

that he does come here to the united states of america. jon karl with the president at vatican city, thank you, jon. >> reporter: thank you, robin. remember, when we were there, people were telling us, ask him, ask the pope. ask him to come here. apparently he's getting that invitation. >> although he's welcome to have us back to rome, as well. i'll take both. we turn to that breaking news overnight in los angeles, a massive bust at l.a. international airport arrested as part of a sting investigating baggage thefts. more than two dozen locations were searched for stolen property and abc's ryan owens is at l.a.x. with the latest. good morning to you, ryan. >> reporter: josh, good morning to you. quite a scene here at one of this nation's busiest airports after police moved in to make a series of arrests for a crime that will make any traveler irate. the suspects are almost all baggage handlers here at l.a.x. some still wearing their yellow safety vests as they were led out of the airport in handcuffs. police say they busted the ring

after sending officers in undercover, posing as other baggage handlers after a string of reported thefts from terminals, runways and planes. >> we believe that there has been a culture maybe of being able to take property that wasn't theirs and that's what we want to put a stop to. >> reporter: the suspects do not work for the airport itself but for independent contracting companies hired to handle the luggage at l.a.x. police say they recovered passengers' electronics, jewelry, even clothes when they searched the suspect's homes. while theft at airports is usually an inside job, it's not just baggage handlers, this surveillance video from memphis revealed a tsa officer stashing a laptop left at a checkpoint then draping it under a jacket and walking away. and as part of a 2012 abc news investigation, brian ross purposely left behind ipads at tsa checkpoints at ten major airports with a history of theft

problems. >> we've gotten $500 and the ipad. >> reporter: in orlando, one tsa officer seemed to take the bait. >> did you take it? >> no, sir. >> you did not take it. >> no, sir. >> reporter: and later today, we expect an update from police about exactly how many people they arrested and precisely what charges they are now facing. meanwhile, the police are busy trying to reunite passengers with their lost items. and robin, that will be no easy task. >> i'm sure it's not. all right, thank you. now the latest on the search for flight 370. more debris spotted by satellite this morning but bad weather has grounded planes again. abc's david kerley has been following this from the start and is with us again this morning. good morning, david. >> good morning, robin. even more evidence of something on the surface of the indian ocean and this latest image is near where those four other images came and showed potential

debris but still not one piece has been picked up and the weather is not cooperating. this is the image the thai government released showing what it says are 300 floating objects taken monday in an area close to some of the other images but still no vessel in that area has been able to pick up any actual debris. and this is part of the reason why. the satellites don't show this, the rough south indian ocean, huge swells, churning currents. and today the weather was so bad with the storm over the area, the australians called off the air search until friday. finding debris will yield many clues about how the aircraft may have hit the water and experts can then trace back the currents to give a better location to start towing this, bat wing-shaped device through the water. on the end of nearly 40,000 feet of cable it will get close to the bottom of the ocean floor to listen for those black boxes. >> the signal comes up the cable and it's received by here. operators will sit in front of this screen listening for any indication that the pinger is heard.

the pinger underwater sounds like this. >> reporter: the head of the fbi says his experts have just about finished investigating the hard drive that was part of the pilot's home flight simulator. the captain and co-pilot remain part of the investigation into why the jetliner with 239 on board dramatically veered off course and flew more than seven hours into one of the remotest places on earth. now, there is some good news. the weather is going to improve significantly into the weekend. winds and waves will calm a bit giving the vessels in this area possibly their best chance ever to actually find some of this wreckage. josh and robin. >> and we hope that finally will be the case. thank you, david. now to amy and the other top stories this morning. good morning, amy. good morning. we begin with yet another security concern at what is supposed to be one of the most secure buildings in the country. this morning, this photo surfacing of another security guard appearing there to be fast asleep at the world trade center in lower manhattan, just days after a shocking security breach

there. abc's rebecca jarvis is here with those details. rebecca, good morning. >> reporter: unbelievable, amy. good morning, the guard in that picture admits he is half blind and yet he was the only one manning the security desk on the ground floor inside what is arguably the number one terrorist target in new york. the photo in this morning's "new york post" was reportedly taken this saturday. just three days before a group of b.a.s.e. jumpers surrendered for doing this. a security breach last september in which the men snuck into the building overnight leaping from a dizzying 1,776 feet. >> we can't believe we just got into the most heavily secured building. >> reporter: and just over a week ago, this 16-year-old was arrested after breaking into the building and climbing all the way up to the building's antenna sneaking by a sleeping security guard who was fired immediately. the guard in this photo says he too is now fired and while he still denies sleeping on the job he did tell "the post" he has a nerve condition that left him nearly blind.

he admits he was surprised to be put in charge of security at such a sensitive location saying in part, that post was so hard to cover for me. it was very, very stressful. i could barely see half of the lobby." despite the recent breaches there have been no visible security changes at the trade center site and, by the way, amy, that guard caught sleeping he was reportedly named security officer of the year last year. >> nomination he probably will not see again. rebecca jarvis, thank you so much. security at the airport could be changing if the tsa gets its way. the agency wants to place armed police officers at airport checkpoints during the busiest hours. the proposal is one change being recommended after that deadly shooting at the los angeles international airport just last year. and in boston, two firefighters have lost their lives battling a fierce wind-driven fire that tore through a brownstone. the men became trapped in the basement, 13 others injured. fellow firefighters escorted the body of one victim from the site

as the others lined the street to salute him. well, the mayor of charlotte, north carolina, has resigned after being arrested during an fbi sting. mayor patrick cannon accused of accepting more than $48,000 in bribes and then soliciting another million in bribes. a california lawmaker who pushed for gun control has been arrested in a gun trafficking scheme. state senator leyland yee is fighting those charges. police in maryland are looking for a thief with a taste for the finer things. someone drove off with a truck loaded with $500,000 worth of hennessy cognac. police found the truck but no sign of the cognac. finally, some workers at the grand canyon are responding after pictures of them went viral. they had to dangle 4,000 feet above the colorado river to clean the window panes under that famous grand canyon skywalk. wow. that is three times the height of the empire state building, for reference.

but they're not phased by it, in fact, they also have to rappel down to the canyon to pick up water bottles, hats and other trash. so, please, please, people, don't litter. don't make their job any more harder than it already is. >> unbelievable. >> brave, brave men. >> we thank them. >> the windows -- maybe we get some self-cleaning windows next time. all right, amy, thank you. we turn now to a fascinating landmark ruling that could, in fact, change the face of college sports. a federal agency has found that northwestern university football players are, in fact, university employees under the law giving them now the right to form a union. abc's ryan smith has the story. >> reporter: a potential college sports game changer but this time in the legal arena. the national labor relations board granting northwestern university scholarship football players the right to unionize, calling them employees under the law and clearing the way for these players to vote for a

union rep and negotiate with the school on terms like health care, safety, even payment. the decision, celebrated by former northwestern quarterback kain colter who led the drive to unionize. >> colter, running room, into the end zone! >> reporter: he talked to espn on wednesday about the groundbreaking ruling. >> today has been a huge success for not only northwestern football players, but for college players around the nation. >> reporter: northwestern plans to appeal the decision, saying, quote "our student athletes are not employees but students. unionization and collective bargaining are not the appropriate methods to address the concerns raised by student athletes." the landmark decision the latest in a wave of legal actions by college players seeking more than just a scholarship in the multibillion dollar world of college sports. no less than three lawsuits are pending against the ncaa to change the way they treat their players. but this decision could

transform the college sports playing field as we know it. >> i believe this could be a revolutionary decision because it's the first time that the colleges have been found to be legal employers. the facts are really not in dispute. >> reporter: now, the ncaa was not a part of the case but issued a statement saying they disagree with the decision. as for northwestern, they will appeal. and, robin and josh, this is the kind of case that could go all the way to the supreme court. >> it would not surprise me one bit. and, again, this is because northwestern players attend a private university. this is for private universities for now. ryan, thanks. >> exactly. >> times are a-changing. >> indeed. to a husband's desperate battle to save his wife's life. she's battling a rare form of cancer. he's launching a social media campaign to pressure the drug companies to give her access to an experimental treatment that could be her only hope. abc's jim avila has the story. >> reporter: what would you do if this smart, beautiful, 25-year-old woman was the love of your life and she's dying?

already exhausted all approved treatments for a rare and deadly kidney cancer, well, this is what mikaela's husband keith is doing, not giving up. >> mikaela has been my rock. she's in a lot of pain and facing death at the age of 25. she's just such a fighter. >> reporter: keith is mobilizing a groundswell of internet support to pressure the fda to allow compassionate use of a promising drug still being tested but not yet approved. >> we just need someone to say that they're going to provide us the drug and we're not going to give up until we get that. >> reporter: and the social media blitz has momentum. from the facebook page which declares we got this to twitter, both pushing to the change.org petition which now hovers at about 200,000. she has made youtube appearances from her northern california hospital bed. >> thank you so much for all your support. >> reporter: her situation similar to 7-year-old josh hardy's. a drug company agreeing to give him an experimental kidney drug

this month after an online campaign. but some in the medical world worry about the pressure being put on doctors, pharmaceutical companies and the fda by masses moved by the emotion rather than science. >> we'd like that to be a decision made by those caring for her. not by the pressure put on by a social media campaign. >> a campaign growing in strength as each day mikaela waits and weakens. for "good morning america," jim avila, abc news, washington. >> but when they said emotion versus science. when you are fighting for your life. >> yes. >> you'll take everything and anything. >> anything. you'll try anything. >> i hope she gets whatever she needs. >> everybody does. >> again, keep the social media campaigns coming. we're going to turn now to that very dramatic rescue. we first showed you it yesterday, that of a houston construction worker saved at the last moment from that wall of flames you see there. he is discussing this morning that far too near death experience. abc's gio benitez has the story.

>> reporter: this morning, the man caught in this blazing inferno hanging off a fifth floor balcony is sharing his fiery story of terror and survival. >> i just said, i'm going to die right here and i said to god, you got to help me. you got to help me out of here. >> reporter: curtis reissig, a construction worker was inside this houston apartment building when it went up in flames tuesday quickly turning into a five-alarm fire. his only option, the balcony. >> i looked back at the building and i saw the flames were right there right behind that smoke that i saw were the flames. >> reporter: the flames licking his clothes, hands and ears, he said he had no other choice but to take a leap of faith. >> oh, no. oh! >> reporter: watch again. witnesses hold their breath as curtis hangs and then a swing and a jump right onto the balcony below. >> that was the only option. that was the only option. >> reporter: the flames closing in, curtis says he was about to

jump all the way to the ground. but then a savior through the flames, firefighter captain brad hawthorne arrives with his ladder, but it's two feet short of the balcony. >> i waved at him come on. >> curtis jumps. >> thank you, jesus. >> i tried to grab him best i could. >> reporter: but they're not out of danger yet. within seconds a wall of fire comes crashing down barely missing the two men. >> i've seen the video. i realize how lucky it was. how close it was. i didn't think it was that close when i was there. >> reporter: a close call that could have ended much worse. and it was so close that curtis did sustain some burns, but he is doing well this morning and, in fact, he is already back at work but it's unbelievable to see that wall just sort of coming down. >> we said it yesterday. you can't imagine a closer call. it's funny the step after step. >> his cool under pressure is remarkable. >> thank you, gio. we turn to ginger with a first look at the weather and

very curious site considering this is the state of california. >> correct. california and a tornado. this outside of sacramento, one of a few reported tornadoes, a dozen homes that were damaged and you can see right here that video is actually from farther north in willows, california. a violent afternoon and evening in the central and northern parts of california. now the hail too. you heard it. we'll have that potential for hail from missouri down through parts of oklahoma, arkansas and all the way up to far southwestern illinois and outside chance of a tornado there too. i'll leave you the look at what's happening in the northeast. for now though, we have to get a look at those rainy cities brought to you by macy's.

dawn daluise featured in "vogue," "in style" and "ladies home journal" but this morning she is being accused of an ugly plot to kill her competition. >> determine that she does fit the mold as having reached the level of solicitation for murder. >> reporter: dawn daluise is accused of trying to hire a hit man of killing gabriel suarez. >> boggles my mind someone would go through that. >> reporter: the evidence against her may include this text message allegedly written by her and sent to a friend. "i found someone who is going to take gabriel out. his name is chris geile and he's an ex-detroit lion quarterback." >> i thought someone was pulling a joke on me. >> reporter: this morning that alleged hit man is coming forward saying he only met daluise and she never asked him to commit a crime. >> i was just totally astonished. >> reporter: police say geile is accused of no wrongdoing and has not been charged with any crime.

dawn daluise pleaded not guilty to the solicitation of murder charge and is now in jail on $1 million bond. >> when you hear the evidence and see what happened, i think there will be a whole new twist to the case. >> reporter: one twist already, investigators say daluise thought suarez wasn't just competing for clients but cyberstalking her and say the cyberstalker was actually her own close friend, edward feinstein. he was arrested on suspicion of stalking and released on bail. feinstein told abc news he is not guilty. investigators say this bizarre case is not over yet and more arrests are possible. for "good morning america," bazi kanani, abc news, los angeles. and now we move on to a sensational murder trial in miami. a man charged with killing his wife just days after the wedding to collect on her insurance policy. he's acting as his own attorney. and he got to grill his former girlfriend who says they planned

the murder together. abc's mara schiavocampo here with this really bizarre story. >> reporter: it is. not just his former girlfriend he got to cross-examine but his former mother-in-law. he rushed the wedding and then killed his bride because he needed money, prosecutors say. in a bizarre courtroom drama, 42-year-old michele escoto accused of killing his wife is representing himself acting as his own attorney in the trial. >> even though we -- >> object. >> reporter: prosecutors say he beat and strangled his new bride, 21-year-old wendy tpipagla, days after their wedding allegedly killing her so he could collect her nearly $1 million life insurance policy. prosecutors allege he even practiced different options for killing her with this woman, his ex-girlfriend. among the options drowning her in the bathtub. >> we filled up my tub and i got in the water.

[ speaking a foreign language ] >> translator: i never thought you would be capable of something like that. you were her husband. >> reporter: a husband who prosecutors say committed the ultimate betrayal. now, this case is expected to last several more weeks. escoto pleaded not guilty. if convicted he could face life in prison. >> never a good idea to defend yourself especially if you don't have experience. >> it's not helping him. by most accounts he's not helping himself by representing himself and fumbling through courtroom proceedings and irritating the prosecution and legal experts say if he's convicted the fact that he represented himself will cause a nightmare on appeals. >> once again, the police

arrested him only after he filed a civil suit trying to get the money. >> he was arrested three years after the murder was committed because initially they didn't have him as a suspect but because he followed up trying to get the insurance money his story was inconsistent and those claims and that's what led him to -- led them to eventually identify hip as a potential suspect. >> you're challenging dan abrams over there. i'm telling you. all right, mara. thanks so much. >> thank you. another check of the weather now with ginger. >> and as if it wasn't windy and cold enough here behind the storm yesterday nantucket had 83-mile-per-hour wind gusts and in canada, the winds gusted to more than 100 miles per hour. watch these reporters as they get blown away. truly like sometimes you see people kind of hobbling and wobbling. they got blown off camera. fighting through that. i'm sure sustained winds of 77. >> i don't know if it's -- >> i don't think they were fine. >> i think they're okay. we got the report that they're okay.

and we're back now at 7:41 with an arkansas woman who was charged with endangering the welfare of a child for breast-feeding after drinking alcohol in a restaurant. the charges dropped last week but the issue of breast-feeding and drinking, a very real one. abc's juju chang spoke and she has the story. >> reporter: less than an hour outside of little rock lies the tiny town of toad suck, arkansas, population roughly 300. it's also home for sasha adams a stay at home mother of three. how much do your kids mean to you. >> more than anything in the world. >> reporter: their baby ana in tow she and her parents stopped for dinner. >> i had a beer and then i had another one later on. >> reporter: but that's not what jackie connors said she saw. she showed up early for an after-hours morning. >> there were three drinks in front of her already when i got there. >> reporter: jackie who has an infant daughter of her own consulted her own mom. >> she texted me back and said

call the police. >> reporter: just after 11:00 that night police arrived at the restaurant. >> and they said, ma'am, we got a report that you are drinking alcohol while breast-feeding and i said, okay. i didn't know that it was illegal. >> reporter: it isn't illegal. the officers made a judgment call and arrested her for endangering the welfare of the child. her child. in your opinion you did nothing wrong. >> right. >> reporter: but was she in fact endangering baby ana? >> once in a while to consume a drink probably will not do any harm for the baby. >> even the american academy of pediatrics does not say zero tolerance. >> correct, they don't say zero. >> reporter: the district attorney recently dropped the charge. the management of gusano's wouldn't respond but the waitress jackie conners was fired the week after calling the cops on tasha. >> if i was ever in that situation again i would do the same thing. that baby can't speak up for

say, the charlie sheen and denise richards route of courtrooms and custody battles. with the divorce rate at 50% and climbing, maybe we should all read this essay posted by paltrow written by two relationship therapists who proclaim it's conscious uncoupling that prevents families from being broken by divorce. they say we're now just living too long. life expectancy was under 50 in 1900, and now it's up around 80, and we just weren't designed to be married that long. as paltrow told me just a few months ago -- >> it's not easy to be married for ten years. >> reporter: apparently ten years was enough. the couple said in their splitsville statement, "while we love each other very much, we will remain separate. we are, however, and always will be a family and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been." >> i felt actual sincerity in the message. will this be alec baldwin and kim basinger? there is not a chance. >> reporter: every time we've seen paltrow and martin together recently while they were working at the end of their

relationship, i must say, they did look rather happy. for "good morning america," nick watt, abc news, los angeles. >> and we're going to bring in child development special, dr. robyn silverman for more on conscious uncoupling and what it can mean for all families. it's wonderful to have you back. >> thank you for having me. >> shed some more light on to this. >> so, conscious uncoupling is a positive term used for divorce that's amicable and responsible and blame-free. >> and gwyneth and chris, you could tell, they put a lot of thought into had. >> that's right. that's right. i think that the idea of divorce is so laden with baggage and especially when it's coupled with hollywood, we think of flyby-night marriage, breakups that happen on a moment's notice. and by saying conscious uncoupling, they're divorcing themselves from that term "divorce" and saying, we're doing this together. we're doing this consciously and we're doing this for the betterment of our family. >> so it seeps communication here is the key.

it's really the basis of all this. as a child development specialist then, taking this approach and having that be the focus, the preface really, if you will, how does it impact the children? >> well, the children obviously get impacted by divorce no matter what, but when parents are on board with positive co-parenting, with understanding that they need to be respectful to one another, not using their children as pawns and jumping in and arguing, it's going to affect the children much more positively than if they're going to be really horrible to one another. >> and even in the split itself, my divorce, we actually used a mediator, and it created an air of just cooperation from the beginning. >> exactly. >> and that has worked for my family, as well, so i appreciate this term, whatever you want to call it, it's so much nicer than what we can see on the other side. >> absolutely. i think people think about marriage and the amount of work that needs to go into marriage but we don't often talk about the amount of work it takes to

have an amicable divorce and we need to be very conscious of that, especially when there's children involved. >> it's really about giving children the opportunity to model love, to model -- >> yeah. >> you've said it before. i love that idea. and can i just -- i want to ask, if you're not in the most friendly place, is it possible to get to this conscious uncoupling place? >> good question. >> can you sort of restart? >> i think you can. i think you need to come together and say, let's do this over. let's remember we're doing this for the betterment of our family and that we're two people. we both can be responsible. we don't have to point fingers, and we can do this in a way that's really great for everyone. >> not about somebody winning. >> no. >> because you want the kids to win. >> you do. you want the kids to win. >> understanding you're always going to be a family. you will. >> that's right. >> exactly. >> and so it's taking the best approach. >> that's right. we know that when we have kids, they're always looking to us

about how we're going to behave and that becomes the template for how they will behave. >> alicia keys with her ex. >> exactly. >> her husband's ex and all vacationing together. >> bravo. >> good environment that was. it can happen. >> it can happen if we make a conscious attempt to make it happen. >> really great advice. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >> my pleasure. >> we'll see you again soon. >> thank you. we are going to switch gears now and talk about the way we dress and how you can do it affordably. it's hard to afford designer dresses. so many of you look in the magazines, you want them but how do you do it? what if you could rent them and then also make money renting out your own gear? "gma" contributor becky worley takes a look at a surprising new idea that could virtually give you the closet of your dreams without breaking the bank. >> reporter: it's the fashion conundrum that every woman faces, ah, i have nothing to wear. >> you wanted to borrow the black chiffon, right? >> reporter: so sharing our clothes with girlfriends. >> how about this? >> i'll look like sherbet. >> reporter: we rely on it.

now, there's an option to virtually share called style lend. for as little as 15 bucks, you essentially borrow a total stranger's dress. >> so the price of two cocktails you can borrow a beautiful dress and look fantastic. >> reporter: 33-year-old fashion model lona alia duncan came up with this concept and calls it the air b&b of dresses. >> instead of purchasing it every time you go out during the week, you can rent one for a tenth of the retail price from a stylish woman nearby. >> reporter: currently style lend is only in san francisco but it's looking to hit new york later this year. >> services like style lend are really making it possible for women to save tons of money and actually make their wardrobes a real investment. >> reporter: so the question, my fashion tastes are pretty basic. could i be a lender and make a few bucks? >> this one would probably be a little bit hard because it has a few problems here. >> oh, yeah. >> so i would pass on this one.

>> now, this one, i don't really want to get rid of it but it just sits in my closet. >> it could work maybe for like, you know, $30, $50. >> reporter: the loan period is a week. and if i made 15 to $30 every time i lent something, well, this dress could definitely earn its keep. but what i really want to know, what kind of dresses could i borrow? this dress, power outfit for work. all right. 50 bucks. yes. good dress. $4,000. carolina herrera. 4,000 bucks. that's like half a car. i would never buy this. but to rent it, 300 bucks, if there was a once-in-a-lifetime occasion, sure. for "good morning america," becky worley, abc news, san francisco. >> becky, i'm in. i'm in. >> so am i. there's like five of us out there. so, yeah. >> yes. and actually we have results of our "gma" flash poll. we asked you, would you rent your clothes to a stranger, and here's what you said.

♪ hollye jacobs was a vegan eating, marathon running 39-year-old mom with no family history of breast cancer when she received a diagnosis that changed her life. today the registered nurse and

social worker is a cancer, i say, survivor and has written a powerful and beautiful new book. it's really a guide. it's called "the silver lining" to help others face this illness with inner strength and information, and, hollye, it is so good. >> thank you. >> the moment i met you, i i wish i had this book when i was facing breast cancer. it's part memoir and it's just such a wonderful guide. tell us the genesis of this. >> well, shortly after i was diagnosed, i looked for a guide and a life line that would support not only me but also my family and friends as i was going through the process, and i couldn't find that book, and so i created it along with elizabeth messina. >> the photographer. >> exactly. >> your friend. who just wanted to simply give you something to help you in some way. >> absolutely. she photographs me throughout the process and she gave me this incredible gift because when i looked in the mirror, what i saw

was cancer and illness and chemotherapy, but her images helped me see that there is still femininity. there is still beauty and that underneath the disease, we're still us. i was still me full of joy and light. >> how do you help people and how do you guide them in communicating with their doctors? because you went from being a health care provider to being a patient. >> people really need to build a partnership with the health care team, and one way to do that is to go to every appointment with a list of questions, and that is such a great way to not only get the information answered that you need, but also to slow a conversation down with your physician or any other member of your team. >> and you encourage someone going through this to have that conversation with their children no matter what age? >> absolutely.

children always know when something has happened in a family, and if they're not included in the process, then they're left with their own imagination. >> it's not just us going through it. >> right. >> it's our family going through it, our loved ones going through it. >> absolutely. i always say cancer doesn't happen in isolation. it doesn't happen to me. it happens to my family, my friends and my community. i think one of the most important things that i learned is that asking for help is actually a sign of strength, not weakness, and that took a lot for me to learn, but it was so important. >> finally, ultimately what is your message here? >> my ultimate goal is that this book will serve as a life line and a guide and a companion for everyone who is impacted by breast cancer. >> well, i'm going to be giving it as a gift, and i wish i had had it when i was going through it. hey, hollye, thank you. i know it's just the tip of the iceberg for all that you're going to be doing but appreciate your time. >> thank you so much, robin. >> good to see you.
