Show You Love Your Mother and Other Mothers

Not much more for me to say except making sure mom does this is your number one priority. If you don't know my story check out Boobs On Ice, I was in a nearly zero risk category and was diagnosed in December with a 5 cm tentacled mass of invasive form of breast cancer.

Meaning that anything can happen to any of us and even I can have a tumor speed through tissue then rank borderline between stages 2 and 3.of a 4 level disease..

Showing one or more of these images on your blog and encouraging others to do so it as well costs you nothing and could - and will - mean much to many.

Susan, every woman I 'meet' brings a greater appreciation that we are all in this together and that our similarities as well as our differences are cause for celebration.

I found your site by way of Debutaunt.com and am hoping that you get many visitors to give you some encouragement!

I also hope that whatever the various issues a breast cancer faces that you may be facing, that you'll feel the love and the strength to keep fighting and mostly, that you'll win. My mom is a breast cancer survivor and until I became the primary caregiver for my son when he was diagnosed, I had no idea how naive I was of the whole cancer experience. I am now in absolute awe of every patient and their means, methods and the members of their support plan.

May you be richly blessed today, tomorrow and in the coming days with everything you need to face the enemy and prevail!

Your experience made me more aware of the necessity for my annual mammograms, which I've had since before I married the radiologist who diagnosed breast cancer all day long.

So I'm leaving for the summer in Half Moon Bay, and I've been having parts of my annual physical before I go, as I always do.

Today I scheduled the mammogram, and Mayo Clinic told me Medicare wouldn't pay for it because you have to wait a year and a day, and I will be two days short of a year if I do it the day before I leave Phoenix. Mayo has all my previous mammograms, so of course I want to have it there so they can compare from previous years.

So, because I'm a friend of Susan Reynolds and learn from her every day, I said: I will pay for it myself. SCREW Medicare. And so I will have mine on May 22, even though Medicare won't pay until May 26. Thanks, America.
