October, Breast Cancer awareness month

October 9th, 2011 Julie

October is breast cancer awareness month.  You will see pink ribbons all over the place.  Even on the food you buy.  Please consider buying products with the breast cancer ribbon on them if the company will donate part of the cost to breast cancer research.

Four years ago this January I was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer.   I was just 40 years old with 3 small children.  The youngest was just 6 years old.  I can’t tell you how grateful I am that breast cancer research has come as far as it has.    If it had not been for treatment I would not be here today.  There is still a long way to go however.  Breast cancer is the 3rd leading cause of cancer death, lung cancer being number one.

Please remember that somewhere there  is a grandmother,  mother, wife, sister, or daughter who is dieing from breast cancer.   Help save them today.

Thank you, Julie
