Barbara; I know so many women in this area who are battling with it also. My prayers will go up for you; and everyone who is in treatment. I will ask God to guide the doctors minds, and thoughts and to please cure you - I will pray for a complete healing to be restored to you; my intentions will be posted on a prayer request as well. Love you so much honey;
hope you have implemented the "special" diet into your daily routine. God bless & keep you strong.
Love you,

After seeing first hand all that my aunt went through with her breast cancer, and the devastation, the heart-ache, the pain she endured it made me more self aware. She is a health nut in every way, doesn't smoke, eats properly, exercises, and no history of breast cancer.
It is my hope that all women will do as you said and be aware of their bodies, do self exams, and be persistent when it comes to the doctor's they don't know our bodies as we do!! I will keep all of those suffering from this horrible cancer in my prayers. That God will grant healing, knowledge, strength, and hope for a cure one day. Take care. Love and hugs to all.

Thank you for the reminder. Personally, I've put getting my annual mammogram on the back burner with everything else that has come up. My doctor has been keeping tabs on a lump in my right breast for 11 years now and it's been 2 years since I last had it checked. I'll make a point of following up now. Thank you.

Thank you. I have a friend who just felt a lump. She hadn't told her husband yet but she told me. I don't understand why she's dragging her feet. I got a phone # for her to call for a free or low cost mammogram but she has not made the call. It's been 1 week. I will email her this note from you in hopes that it does the trick.
I love you
Colleen

Dear Turtle Dove,
Thank you. I will get right on it as I was due last month, but so busy I let the time slip by. It is so easy to do this in our busy lives. My mother is a breast cancer survivor...15 years now...no previous family history. Guess we do now...
Love,
me
To all of you:
This is Breast Cancer Awarness Month...please spread the word. I sent a donation to our local chapter & wear the breast cancer pin to remind others of this. Please follow Barb's heartfelt advice...it could mean your life. Haven't our families suffered enough?
Ann

Thanks for the reminder and I hope you are feeling better. I will go to the web site.
Love,
Robin

Thank You, I have not had a check up since 06. Got an appt for end of month. Love Joanne

Barb, you know all about my first mammogram, which turned into a biopsey.....I will never let another mammogram go for that long again....Learned my lesson....and you helped me through that lesson, but do you know anything about kidney stones??????? luv, Pam

I am one to igorne medicial issues since Joe passed. Thanks for knocking some sense into my head.
Hope you feel better. Love & Hugs, Lucille

Barbara, I was diagnosed with stage 2A breast cancer in summer of 2005. I have been in remission 2 years. I got my yearly Mamograms!Thank The Lord! The Doctors are all optomistic about me, but who knows? What is the diffrence in a Diognostic mamogram and a regular one? It would seem like I would have been told, or know this, bing in my presant state! I never knew there was more than one kind. I still go for check ups with my Chemo, and Radiation Drs. Thank you. and Ladies Barbara is so right. Get to the Mammograms right on time every year! I believe it saved my life.(so far at least) Thank you Barbara,Love sister,Peggy

I think there are very few of us who don't know someone, or more than one person fighting the fight. Thanks for the sound advice Barb. I took the Purina Cat Chow test....it only took a minute...so everyone go to that sight and take the test!! Love ya Barb!

Thank you Barb for all your advice to us Moms. I see cancer everday and some days I get so sad when I see what you all go thru I hate it. My grandmother had advanced breast cancer at 45 and she lived to 92. Nobody is safe anymore and we all need to take charge of our health. One of the most important things we can do is change how we eat and what we eat. Juicing is the best for our body.

Will do. Thanks for info. Pat

Oh Barb, when will it end????? I know that's a dumb question but my heart breaks everytime I read another mother has to join our group. I'm glad they have come to this site because we all know we are stronger because of you and all these wonderful women. Thanks Robin

I am sorry that each of you have to come here, because, of it means you have suffered such an awful loss. I do hope you find as much comfort here as I have. DS has helped me and made me feel a lot less alone, So many Mom's are broken just like me. I lostmy youngest son,Paul at 29 from an accidental drug/alchol overdose in 2003, and Steven, my older son at 38 from suicide in dec. 2007, and my stepdayghter in Aug, 2008 from a self inflicted gunshot wound. I would be happy to share my saddness, and my journey through it's ups and downs, with anyone. Through DS or grndmudder@aol.com
personally. My prayers, and my love to all of your broken hearts,Peggy

It's so heartbreaking.

Mary, I could not find where this question was posted. I am a mother that lost 1 son to accidental overdose, and 1 to suicide, and my step daughter in a accidental or intentional shooting.(they have not tlad us clearly yet what happened.) I would be glad to read and commment on you Post " Who the Hell am I" if I could find it. Can you send me directions, or is the group only for mom's of murdered children. I am very sorry and God be with you.Peggy, grndmudder@aol.com

I agree with Marys' comments, I also couldn't find anything. May God bless you-you have had your share of troubles.
