Melissa Etheridge's brave comeback
Exclusive: Singer talks about illness, treatment,
decision to make Grammy appearance
Melissa Etheridge describes chemotherapy as "hell." And she was right in the middle of it when she heard she'd been nominated for a Grammy. She figured this was one awards ceremony she'd have to sit out. But then her chemo treatment for breast cancer came to an end, and when she was invited to sing a tribute to a woman she considers a major influence, Etheridge decided she'd go to the Grammy's, with hair, or without.
