Helping Out a Friend

Tomorrow a friend of mine is going to the hospital for a double mastectomy. She is 45 years old and a mother of 4. She was diagnosed with breast cancer last Fall and thought that chemotherapy was going to be sufficient to save her breasts. She decided to save her life instead and greatly reduce the risk of a relapse. Tomorrow her breasts come off. And in light of her last day at work today, I am wearing pink.

I recently came across The Breast Cancer Site, which encourages a daily click for free mammograms. I bookmarked the page and it resides just beneath the link to this blog so I am reminded to take 15 seconds out of my "busy day" to help women get screened.

Will you click today?
