October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and you don't have to look far to find someone affected by breast cancer. It impacts us all. I lost my grandmother Pauline, affectionately known as "Nana" to breast cancer in 2006 after a 7 year battle with the disease. I'll never forget how spunky and fun she was, and her lessons on frugality and the power of a coupon have stuck with me all these years and help me save my family money. This month I honor her. I love and miss you nana.

ReplyDeleteMy great grandma was a breast cancer survivor. She beat it and went on to live a long and full life. Seeing her strength and compassion through such a difficult time is something that will forever stick with me. So I'm representing her!

I am very lucky and do not know anyone that has breat cancer. This is still dear to my heart though, because I know I could develop this at any time. I am in no way immune from it, neither is anyone else I know. I support this cause completely.

My memaw! She is amazing and found two lumps in her breast very lucky to go through it and lived! I am so glad you asked this question because so many times people forget that we are all effected and can be one day I am very sorry for your lost and love that you shared this with us! I know your nana is in a better place.
ReplyDeleteI love both my parents to cancer. I hate it and wish there was more I could do to prevent it from ever touching anyone. It doesn't matter if it is breast, heart, lung, colon it all needs to be eradicated.
