I am a breast cancer patient and consider myself a 'Pink Lady'. I wanted to make a site for all of those who have it or are going through it, and even if you have never had it, come and see where we are coming from and take heed. I do hope all women keep up with those mammograms and men you should be checked also, breast cancer is not limited to just women.
I was diagnosed July 24 2001 with Breast Cancer, and don't let it fool you, breast cancer dosen't have to be in the family. I am the first woman I have heard of in my family to have gotten it.
I have an update on that last statement. Since I also do genealogy work, I have ran across a line in my family where so many of the ladies have been hit with breast cancer, so I think you should be careful wheather you know of it or not.
I also have a few tidbits here to share with you, I like to call them the "Ten Commandments For Breast Cancer Victims".
I hope you enjoy your visit here and any time any of you would like to write me, please send me an e mail, I will answer it for you. Just remember that I am not a doctor or a nurse, I am only a fellow lady that has suffered from breast cancer.

When we are terrified-tell us you're there

When we cry-accept it

When we cannot focus on the conversation-fill in for us

When we awaken scared-hold us

When we tell our story for the millionth time-remember it is real

When nightmares keep us awake-be patient

When we go for our 6,000, 12,000 or 24,000 miles checkup-be there

When our treatment is over-remember this does not end for us

When we don't know who we are-tell us we are somebody

When we are optimistic-help us appreciate the day
