Breast Cancer Awareness
1 in every 8 women will be struck with this horrible disease. After being diagnosed with breast cancer in September 2004. Self exams help early detection. Remember its not just a lump or bump it can be anything that is not normal to the touch. Mine was just a slight line under the skin.
I was totally blown away when I was told I had cancer since I seem not to fall into any of the typical catergories and because my syptoms did not reflect what is normal syptoms mentioned in brochures or websites.
The number one empowerment tool, is to know your body. If anything is not to your normal, get it checked out. Insist on the healthcare provider to take notice of your situation so early detection can save your life and also long procedures.
My motto these days "Life is short create something"!
