Barbados Sam Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Yesterday I lost a friend to Breast Cancer. She detected a lump but didn't do anything about it until it was too late. From the time she went to the doctor right before Thanksgiving, it spread quickly to her liver and lungs. In less than two months she was gone. Nancy was just 38 years old and leaves behind a 9 year old daughter. I'm posting this as a reminder. For the ladies on the pub, I urge you to do self examinations routinely, and to have regular mammograms. For the guys on the pub, pass this message on to the women in your life. Breast Cancer can be beat with early detection. But it can also be devastating if it gets a chance and will spread with devastating speed. I will miss my friend Nancy greatly. Please don't let this happen to you or your loved ones. It can be prevented. "There be the chest, inside be the gold, we took them all. Spent them and traded them. We frittered them away on drink and food and pleasurable company. The more we gave them away, the more we came to realize... the drink would not satisfy, food turned to ash in our mouths, and all the pleasurable company in the world could not slake our lust. We are cursed men....Compelled by greed we were, and now we are consumed by it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silkie McDonough Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Sam, I grieve for your loss. I also have lost a friend to what started as breast cancer and still I do not follow up on my exams as frequently as I should. Thank you for your concern and the wake-up call. I shall make an appointment today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
