Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast Cancer has touched my life so many times.  I have had so many friends that have had this terrible disease.  2 years ago, my mother had breast cancer, she is now a little over 2 years of being a survivor.  Please make sure to get your yearly mammograms, it does not have to be hereditary or run in your family for you to get it.  There has been an increase in the disease due to our environment, the way we eat, so many factors.

I met someone one time at a function who had breast cancer, not once, not twice but three times.  She is a survivor, heck that word doesn't even describe her.  She has faced it head on three times and survived.  Now for a living she works helping others who have or had breast cancer with programs that are available out there for you.  One thing she said that really stuck with me was that she said she would not let cancer beat her.  She my friends, beat cancer.  There are no guarantees that you won't get cancer, there are no gurantees you won't get a form of cancer again.  There is a guarantee that you can fight with all your hope, faith and strength, with the support of your loved ones, your faith in our father above, and your inner strength that knows no bounds.

This month make a point to speak to a loved one that has it, give them encouragement, remind them how their struggle has made all the difference in your life.

I guarantee you they will change your life.
