AMEN, Edna! My mother is a 17 year survivor...we spend every summer spearheading our local Relay for Life- last time our tiny little burg raised $31,000! Mom lights a candle at the Susan G. Komen Survivors' luncheon each year, and I see women, younger than me, older than me, older than my mom, who are fighting this battle...it brings me to my knees every year.
With that said, I must send you my condolences for our aun....I'm so sorry such a hard battle was lost, but I hope she is at peace.
Take good care of yourself, Edna, and thanks for the reminder.
Oh, and boys, please remember- you, too are at risk for breast cancer.
