This is a problem that is close to my heart. Most of my mothers family had this awful disease. Two of my aunts and my grandmother all died with it...not because of it...at least not just because of it, my mother is a survivor and I even have a uncle that is a survivor. So it is something that is close to me. And something that the doctors have been on me about since I was 25 to keep an eye on. I go, with lots of reserve, to have my mammograms done. It's not something I enjoy doing because it causes me a great deal of pain. Although, mom says it doesn't cause her any and I've met many women that it doesn't bother also. So maybe I'm just a big baby. lol  I know that the mammogram is very important, so I do it. I don't know, however, how I would react should I get this cancer. My breast are not the biggest or the most beautiful but they are mine. Mom had a mastectomy and I just don't think I could go through with that. But my mother can be a very brave woman when she needs to be. Her reaction when she was told was so take it off, I don't need it anyway. I don't think I could respond like that. It is her courage that I hope was also passed to me. 

Every day they are getting closer and closer to a cure for this disease. But they still need help. Hopefully, one day real soon, there will be a cure to eliminate this cancer.

Please take a look at some of the sites listen below. We need more awareness of this.
