Breast Cancer Awareness Month

This month is a very important one for all. I'll tell you why...
In 1998 when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, the radiologist and her doctor told her that the cancer had begun spreading like the roots of a tree. But they caught the cancer in time! After my mom's diagnosis, she went for surgery (a lumpectomy and lymph node removal) and radiation treatment. No chemotherapy except for the tamoxifen pills for 5 years, which acted like chemo only in pill-form. She is now an 8-year-cancer-survivor thanks to a mammogram! And she is finally off the tamoxifen pills! Though I still worry about her. Because I know breast cancer, or any type of cancer, can re-occur. Luckily for us though, she still goes for her yearly mammograms to make sure her cancer does not come back ever. Early detection saved my mother's life. I know it can save your's or someones you love!

But what happens if a woman CANNOT AFFORD to get A MAMMOGRAM? What do they do? It's heartbreaking that some people cannot afford mammograms! This is why I'm asking you to please TELL 10 FRIENDS TO CLICK ON The Breast Cancer website at http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/

Let me explain. I received an email from a dear friend in which it said that The Breast Cancer website is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of DONATING at least ONE FREE MAMMOGRAM A DAY to an underprivileged woman. So if you go to The Breast Cancer site it doesn't cost you a thing, but could SAVE A LIFE!

Also in this email, it said that The Breast Cancer website's corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to DONATE ONE FREE MAMMOGRAM in exchange for advertising. The more visitors The Breast Cancer site gets, the more their corporate sponsors and advertisers will make ONE PERSON feel like a million bucks by receiving a donation of a FREE MAMMOGRAM!

So won't you please help by taking a minute out of your busy day and clicking on their website? Here's the website again: http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/

LIKE MY DEAR FRIEND'S EMAIL SAID: "PLEASE TELL 10 FRIENDS TO TELL 10 TODAY AND FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH OF OCTOBER!" You just may save a life...

Thank you!
