I have a confession to make (don't worry, no bodily fluids are involved!) okay, ready?
It's been 5 years since my last check-up!
It's true. You see, I've been busy. Participating in blogging projects, or reminding families (like mine) to think pink; but, could only watch, hope and pray, while my twin brother fought valiantly and gave up one of kidneys, in order to win his battle with cancer; last month, I sat next to my SIL's hospital bed, held her hand and prayed some more.
No, I am NOT proud of the fact that I have, once again, put my health and well-being…last.
Then, yesterday, I read WhyMommy's post calling on women (like me) to use our blogging powers for good and it moved me to action:
I'm asking you to join the Avon/Love Army of Women
fighting breast cancer by signing up for emails about future studies,
and participating in easy, online studies or studies in your hometown
when something applies to you — and to blog about your decision, asking your readers to as well.
Okay, now it's your turn — don’t have a blog? No problem! You can still TAKE ACTION by updating your Facebook status on October 1st with the following:
“I
signed up to STOP breast cancer before it STARTS. Have you? Join today
at http://www.armyofwomen.org, then copy and paste this status update
as your own.”
Why?
Because, nice matters and cancer sucks big, fat, hairy donkey balls!
Me?
I have an appointment for next Thursday. Thank you, Susan!

Happy Army of Women Day!”
Good luck on Thursday. I have mammograms regularly but am terrible at checking for lumps.
Just linked to your post in a list we’re doing of blogs that are #writepink today and have joined the army of women.

My annual mammo is scheduled for Monday… my 47th B-Day. I’ve had one each year since I was 35. With my family history, it is a no-brainer.

I’m so glad that you are going– it’s so very important! I am grateful for staying on top of mine– it’s caught a few small issues for me. No mammogram yet, but as soon as I hit that stage in my life, I’m there!

I’ve gotten mammos since 35, and I’m a member of Army of women since the first year. My grandmother had bc, and my daughter’s mother’s family is full of it. My annual is next month, so November it is!

Wear the pink ribbon and become a part of breast cancer awareness campaign. I was diagnosed for breast cancer last year during the awareness campaign. Now is my turn to stand for the cause and educate others.
