I am so sorry to hear about so many women battling cancer! It has touched my life too. Do you mind if I share a video of an event that I am passionate about?

Megan: I’m so sorry about your aunt. The knitter friend has something essentially the same, where it’s in her bones but it could be a year, or 10. Either way, the chemo sucks.

CFO: Thanks for highlighting the link. I’m bad about checking every month, but that’s why a post was in order.

Lanea: No problem!

Damn cancer–I hate it so.

My Aunt and one of my closest friends have both beaten it, but I lots another friend to breast cancer a couple of years ago, and it was heartbreaking. Thanks for encouraging people to take care of their own and each other’s health.

I hope your friend will be OK. I’ve been bad about my monthly self-checks, so thanks for the reminder.

I wanted to add to your list. You can click to give free mammograms at the Breast Cancer Site.

Thanks for all these links. My aunt was initially diagnosed with breast cancer over 15 years ago. She had radiation and chemo and it was a rough go of it for a while, but then it seemed to be gone.

A few weeks ago, they found out it was back. In her spine. It will kill her - there’s no way to cure it. She could have 2 years, she could have 10, no one knows. But the more research, the more funding, the more people catch it early, the more likely it is that others won’t have to go through this.
