Breast Cancer Awarness

As many of you understand we as women have to take care of our family, friends, the house, the grocery shopping, the bill, the laundry and on and on; but so often we forget about ourselves. I ask each of you to take time out for yourselves and take time for your yearly exams; your monthly self exams and your mammograms if old enough for them.

My mother is a two time survivor from breast cancer, I also have several aunts that have had breast cancer. A little about my mother she had been one year for her exam and mammogram and went back the next year for her routine exams again and she was diagnosed with stage 3 of an aggressive breast cancer. She had the surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments. Was doing well and keeping up with all of her routine exams and she was almost at her five year remission and she was diagnosed again with breast cancer of a total different form and a form that was not as aggressive as the 1st round, so she had the surgery and is taking the chemotherapy pill for the next five years. She is almost to her 3rd year of remission again. She is doing well.

I am very lucky that God has blessed my mother and my family with the cancer and the health. You say that you are blessed because of the cancer, yes because it brought my family back to being closer again and gave my mother a different outlook on life, she understands that God gave her not only one chance but two. We live our life each day from what we have learned and shared it with everyone that we can. I am a big fan of take care of yourself and get your exams so that you can be around to take care of your family.

God bless each survivor with another day and bless all their families also.
