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!
