On this last day of Breast Cancer Awareness month I have some thoughts from the perspective of a breast cancer husband. Here are my top five thoughts that women our age or older should NOT have:
5. I'm not old enough for a mammogram or breast exam.
4. It can't/won't happen to me.
3. I breast fed so I'm not at risk.
2. I'll do it tomorrow.
1. I'll wait and see if it goes away.
Even though it is almost the end of Breast Cancer Awareness month, I now live Breast Cancer Awareness life. Take care of yourselves.
Micah, those are sage words of advice, coming from one who is living a loved one who is battling that demon. You are so right about everything all along the way. Thank you for your caring and thoughtfulness not only of Cathy, but of your whole family. Cathy has not left my mi9nd today, as is the case on many days. My thoughts and prayers will be with all of you tomorrow and for Cathy to have a good outcome with her tests. I know tonight is very hard on all of you and I just don't know how you and Cathy are going to be closing your eyes tonight - - I'm sure I wouldn't. Our love to all of you and Cathy, you are, have been and will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
