I am amazed that we are surrounded by fighters and survivors. ...
I learned the entire story behind the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation and, in fact, have learned more about breast cancer in the past few weeks than I've ever known. I feel empowered and a little nervous -- especially as I face my first mammogram at the end of this month. Will my breasts be too dense for just a mammogram and will I have to assert myself to receive an MRI? Is this a disease I will have to personally fight or will I be a "lucky" bystander?
I won't dwell on these negatives... I'll just continue to support the fight against breast cancer by helping to spread the word and support my sister friends as best as I can. Have you joined the fight? And, even more importantly, do you do monthly breast self examinations and get mammograms?
