I'm sorry to hear about your sister-in-law. My grandfather actually passed away from breast cancer. You do not hear a lot about men getting breast cancer but it happens. I hope that someday we can cure this awful disease.

I am a 14 year survivor, was 37yo when diagnosed after over a year of misdiagnoses. I had 4 boys and a hubby at home and stage 4 cancer. My God is awesome, He gave me wonderful drs, nurses, friends and family to help with recovery. I am a little lop-sided but hey, it beats the alternative!

Know your body and go get a mammogram!

I lost a dear friend several years ago to breast cancer. She left 3 daughters that have struggled without her. She was a fighter until the end. I miss her dearly. This is a wonderful idea. Thank you so much for remembering breast cancer.

Hi Mary,
I went to school with someone who died of breast cancer when she just in middle school. Her brother was in my class. That was very hard on all of us especially at such a young age to go through. Because of it, now that my own daughter is 13, I will make sure she knows what to look for in the signs of breast cancer.

What a great idea! What a great giveaway!
I have a friend who died from a five year battle with breast cancer several years ago. She left a husband and a 5 year old here to raise each other. I love that the awareness of breast cancer and the effort to find a cure is widening.

Hi Mary,

As you had stated their are many of us who know of someone that has been effected by this disease. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law were diagnoised this year with breast cancer just a month apart from each other. My sister-in-law's was caught very early and she will only need to take the required pill for 5 years. Thank goodness she doesn't have to go through

Hi Mary,

I have been reading your blog for many months now and I was really touched by your most recent post.

I lost my maternal grandmother to breast cancer 30 years ago and it totally devasted my mother. Then my mom was struck with breast cancer 5 years ago and is a survivor thanks to the advances in medical technology.

Then 2 years ago I lost my paternal

What a great post! You are right I don't think there is anyone who does not know someone who has had breast cancer.

So sorry about your sister in law. She does look like a very strong and determined lady. My co-worker's daughter is currently battling this nasty disease, but a good friend of mine has been declared cancer free since 2003.

2009-10-20T09:19:35.717-05:00

I'm lucky no one in my family has had cancer, but that doesn't mean it hasn't affected me. My husbands Aunt lost her battle with breast cancer 2 years ago this Thanksgiving. She had been cancer free for 2 years before it returned full force and spread to her brain.
Cancer affects us all in one way or another and I'll be hitting the site next!

My grandmother passed away when i was 15 years old from breast cancer. She was the most important person in my life at that time and i feel so sad that she is not here for my kids. I miss her terribly still and it has been 15 years since she passed away. I dont think you ever get over it i think you just move on with life and try to deal with it.

Hi Mary,
I am sorry to read about your sister-in-law.

I worked with cancer patients at a local hospital and cancer treatment center. I will be forever grateful for what my patients and their families taught me over the years about living and dying.

My closest friend of 40 years had a bilateral mastectomy a few years back; she was fortunate in both her diagnosis and

One of my really good friends lost her mom to breast cancer last Spring. She had already lost her dad and brother and few years before. I saw how hard it was on her. She tried to be brave around everyone but I know deep down she was torn apart. This is a great thing you're doing. Thanks so much.

Hi Mary,

I would like to share my thoughts and feelings..I have an Aunt that has survived breast cancer. She ended up having her breast removed so that she can save her life..My cousin also had it and she passed away from it...It was hard to get over such an emotional part of my life..I am now working with a co-worker who was diagnosed with it and she was having surgery after surgery
