Dear Cheryl:
Thank you for your story. You have an angel for a husband and I am proud to say I do too. He would have shaved his head, but nature had already done it before!!!! So we matched for awhile.
The people who really need to get the message for breast self exams are the twenty year olds--so much more cancer in the young, and most of them do not think it is something to worry about at their age. I did because I had a benign lump removed when I was barely 21. So everyone please remind the young women in your lives to keep a closer check on themselves, because too many doctors do not even realize how cancer is affecting the young, and do not even recommend a mammogram for people under 40!
Let's get the word out to all who will listen. May God bless you each day.
Love and hugs to each of you,

thanks for the reply, & I know what you mean my daughter is 31 yrs old she has a fibroid cyst in her breast the Doctors said for her not to worry about it but I do because I'm her Mom & I had breast cancer. I wish everybody would just get out there & get these young children to worry about it because if it goes undetected it can kill you thank you Brenda for listening

So many women here need to hear stories like yours and mine. My son ended up shaving his head after his friend had done mine. I was the third mother of a friend this boy used is clippers on. My son didn't shave his right away but with in the first week he came home to my surprise. Both our heads of hair grew in dark we were both blonde. I think this was the first gesture I saw from him that he wanted to truly be apart of what I was going through, he was just 15.
You are very fortunate for the love you found surrounding you, we all are.

Thank you so much for support of young women. I am only 24 years old and was diagnosed with breast cancer in April. I thank the Lord everyday that my Dr. acted so quickly on the lump that I found. Within 2 weeks of finding my lump, I was in surgery for a radical double mastectomy. I only had cancer in the right breast, but opted to take both due to my age and family history of cancer. Unfortunatley a friend of mine wasn't so fortunate with her breast cancer. Her Dr. told her she was to young for a mammogram at the age of 25. She was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 26. She recently passed away at the age of 32 due to an ignorant Dr. who believed that breast cancer doesn't happen to us young women. I wish that more people would see that it can happen to young women. My friend and I are proof that it does in fact happen. I wish more people were like us in pressing the issue with young women. Your support in this matter means more to me than you will ever know. God Bless You! Carrie0
