So Hard To Write The Words

My sister Jenn has been diagnosed with early stage breast cancer.  Weeks ago she had the suspicious mammogram.  The follow-up mammogram, the biopsy, and an MRI were the confirmations.  She'll have the second MRI with the dye as I did to confirm the cells are contained.  She'll know more in the next few weeks as she meets with her surgeon after the procedure.  Possibly just a lumpectomy without chemo, or radiation.  That is the hope.  DCIS - ductal carcinoma in situ.  Early stage.  Curable. 

I can't even believe the irony of this being breast cancer awareness month.  Both of us will walk the walk tomorrow with the Puckered Up Team - Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.  So many of you have been amazing supporters of this event.  So continue to spread the word.  All donations of any amount are truly meaningful and can still be accepted after tomorrow.

Left click once on the link below and then click underneath where it then says "Go to link" to get to the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer site.  The Puckered-Up for Tracy team is formidable.  Jenn and I are formidable.  Thank you all for everything you do to put cancer in it's place.
