Breast Cancer Month

In October 2002 my mother (then 54*) was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had a mastectomy of one breast and lymph nodes under her arm were removed followed with chemotherapy, radiation therapy and hormonal therapy. She has now only a year to go on medication and thankfully the cancer seems to have completely retreated. Sadly not all are so lucky.

October is breast cancer awareness month. It is believed that 1 in every 10 women are diagnosed with breast cancer, please show your support. There are so many ways to do it.

*my grandmother also had breast cancer and had a mastectomy when she was 58 years old
