My maternal grandmother died of breast cancer shortly before I was born. My mother gave me her name.
My paternal grandmother recently beat breast cancer, caught very early.
And 4 years ago my mom beat breast cancer also.
I guess I really am next in line. Every year I have to get a mammogram and breat sonogram done. Not typical of most 32 year-olds.
My mom's best friend beat ovarian cancer 14 years ago and has been in remission since. Unfortunately, last month they diagnosed her with stage 4 lung cancer. She has never smoked or been around a smoker.
When I was given the chance to promote the American Cancer Society here on my blog, I gladly accepted, it is the least I can do to help in the fight against this disease that affects so many in my family and families all over the world.
