I'm 34 and just completed my breast cancer treatment for Stage 1 cancer. My mission is to raise awareness among other young women about the the importance of self-breast exams and the result has been the 'feel your boobies' campaign. i've sold 600 tshirts in less than a month and have several fund raisers planned. check out the site and help me spread the word!

    I also am 32 had stage 3 cancer. 6 weeks out from my bilateral mastectomy with expanders put in. I start chemo in a few days. I also do what I can to tell friends and family to check themselves regularly. I checked myself and found my tumor. I also let them know mammograms don't work very well and to have an ultrasound done.
    Good luck on fund raising and I will check out your site.
