Dear Friends;
FIND IT, When I confided in my family and friends that I had been diagnosed with breast cancer, some of them (of a similar age) confided in me that they had not ever had an exam or had not had one in years. Some even told me they did not know how to administer a "self-examination". Check with your doctor about what exams are right for you! FACE IT When I was diagnosed, my greatest enemy was fear. Fear of my family, friends and co-workers treating me differently; fear of pain and suffering, fear of dying and yes... plain old fear of the unknown. I beg of you ... do not fear communicating with others about your concerns. Silence is a friend to breast cancer. You can gain strength from joining a support group. |

FIX IT
With research and education, I faced my fears and I gained strength each day. My experience with breast cancer brought me together with women who have survived for thirty years or more. I also met men, (yes, men), and women, like myself, who were new to the process of surgery and treatment. What I have learned is that the medical world has advanced by leaps and bounds in the area of breast cancer detection and treatment. The survival rate is very high ...the key is to FIND IT early and FIX IT.
FUND IT
Money is crucial to the fight for a cure. I invite you to visit some of the links I have listed to help support the research that can save lives. Find ways to help...donate time, donate money ...get educated!
HAVE FAITH
"The Lord is my Shepherd..."
You don't need to think the same way I do, but it's OK to believe in a power stronger than yourself. For me it's Jesus Christ. I have a relationship with the Lord that has been a great source of strength and healing for me. If you have a relationship with a Higher Power, please pray for me and all of us who need the extra strength.
And I ask you to have Faith ... true Faith that no one is alone in this fight. The fight against this enemy ... this disease ... this breast cancer.... together, we can beat it!
And finally....
People who know me, know that it is my goal to be a positive force in life.
Breast cancer is a negative force. I will always fight it. I will do anything I can to expose this enemy who comes shrouded in a cloak of dark fear, silence and ignorance to steal our lives away. When my own loved ones, young, intelligent women told me that they wanted to know more about how to defend themselves from this disease, my deep personal fears began to melt away, and my goal became clear to me: to reach out to my family and friends on a one-to-one basis. It will not be a fancy or decorative plea, but I pray that it will be useful, to find it, face it, fix it, fund it and have faith!
Thank you for caring....
