Education and Awareness...let's find a cure!
ReplyDeleteDaisy is right. Awareness means women getting timely mammograms and doing regular self-exams. My younger sister was 45 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer but because it was detected early she is alive and doing well today more than six years after the diagnosis. She had surgery and underwent chemotherapy and radiation treatments but is now almost six years cancer-free. This is a disease that can affect anyone but great strides have been made in treatment but these are only effective if women monitor their health. Regular check-ups are the key. Kudos to the town for highlighting this important issue!
ReplyDeleteJack,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Here's wishing your sister a long and happy life.
I echo your "Kudos to the town for highlighting this important issue!"
My Mom was diagnosed at the age of 47 and thanks to some rather aggressive surgery and treatment lived cancer-free through the age of 80, rest her soul.
Mom was an RN and about a year after her surgery, started making herself available (through her hospital and MDs) to speak one-on-one with newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. She'd share her experiences, what she'd gone through and what they might expect. This was back in the late 60's when 'counseling' was virtually unheard of.
But that was Mom ... doing anything she could to help others.

This is OUTSTANDING ! Thank You East Greenbush for keeping this first and foremost - especially during the "silly season".
ReplyDeleteand over there - little miss Giggle~giggle-boom-boom has made every attempt to slander Ginny OBrien about breast cancer awareness. What an absolute shame! Ann - your pathetic!
ReplyDeleteHere's the latest from Ann the LOSER:
ReplyDelete"OMG, I wish I lived in NORTH Greenbush. Why would anyone vote for C B Smith and let HIM get NG into the mess EG is in?
In my opinion EG is run by a pack of crooks who think only of their own pocketbooks. We were thinking of moving, but thanks to Obama, we will lose 30% of the value of our house. This is what you get when you give incompetent people power.
Good for you, NG, keep voting the right way. I don't know much about NG, except for Lou Desso.
WE (EG)need people like HIM. Before you people make any changes, look over your shoulder and see what is happening there. Lo and behold, it's EG! You certainly don't want to get into that mess!!! "- OMG!!! - another C'mon Man moment!! AH-HAH ! ! OMG!!!
ps - : ANN - when can we plan on you moving OUT of East Greenbush? OMG- Marsha-Marsha-Marsha!! Can't you just see her saying that !?!
Ann- at the very least - your comedy relief !
at least your good for something - because your clearly not any political person at all- OMG!!!
Another "C'mon Man " moment brought to you proudly by : Babe In Total Control of Herself - aka: rANNt Failure-(Taylor)

ReplyDeleteThat anonymous post couldn't have been Ann. Why you ask? Simple, it says
"we will lose 30% of the value of our house"
NOT
"we will lose 30% of the value of MY PARENTS' house".
