I was tagged by Confessions of a Pagan Soccer Mom to join the Pink Sisterhood. It is very important that women who cannot afford mammograms still get them.

I am at a very high risk for Breast Cancer. My mother is a survivor and my grandmother was. I have had 7 benign tumors removed. My best friend was diagnosed this year. Her doctor told her she didn't need a mammogram because she had no risk factors. She insisted because her insurance paid for one a year. It's a good thing she insisted.

I have had two other friends diagnosed with no risk factors. All 3 were in their 40's.

Let’s help save lives, by visiting The Breast Cancer Site. By simply clicking once a day, three mammograms per click will be funded for people in need. Do it because you care.



I am tagging everyone who reads my blog on a regular basis. Please, spread the word.

My BFF is having her surgery, probably as I write this. She is having her mastectomy today. Please keep her in you thoughts, prayers, and candle lighting.

Tonight I went to a class at Book Woman and made a Medicine Bag. It was amazing. And so simple really. She said you can find most information on line. The bags are made out of soft leather and sewn or woven shut, decorated with beads and animal hair (mine is buffalo hair) and filled with herbs, crystals, or other items. I am sending mine to my girlfriend who has breast cancer.

I wish all you wonderful women could have been with me!

Newest update on BFF. She will need to have a mastectomy. She will know by the end of the month (June 30) if she has clean nodes. So, my new mantra is "cleannodes,cleannodes,cleannodes"

This sucks

My BFF from high school just posted that she has breast cancer. She is only 46. We graduated from high school together. I tried to call her but she is not home. Soooo, I called my mom and of course started to bawl. Poor thing she is out to dinner with family and ducked into the ladies room to talk to me.

This REALLY sucks.

If it is a "normal" ductal carcinoma, she will just have a lumpectomy and radiation. So, please my dearest friends keep her in your thoughts and send TONS of healing energy. You all have special gifts that may help. And I need you now, for her.

Oh, I'll be GREAT company tonight for my hubby. We are going out to dinner. Maybe another glass or two of wine....

I hate asking for help. Even if it is just something like this. There are so many bigger problems in the world, that my wants seem minuscule.

Please, please remember to get regular mammograms. Especially, if you have a family history like I do. I have been having them since I was in my 30's.

Love you guys
