The Sewing Mom

I was reading blogs this afternoon when I ran across one in particular that I ready fairly regularly. I was heart broken to find out that its author has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer, for the third time.

A very close friend of mine has experienced this same unfortunate occurrence. She first discovered her breast cancer 6 years ago. She went through chemo and radiation treatments. She followed all the doctor recommended courses of treatment. She even had a mastectomy followed by reconstructive surgery to receive silicone breast implants by a plastic surgeon. Finally, she was deemed cancer free after 5 years. Then, in her sixth year, the cancer returned. It was bigger and badder than ever and she has been fighting ever since. Thankfully, she is winning, not the cancer.

I want to ask my readers to please scroll down my right side bar to the pink and white breast cancer button. Clicking on this button helps to fund free mammograms to those who cannot afford them. Mammograms allow for early detection and early detection allows women to defeat this disease. So please, click.
