Breast Cancer Acknowledgment!! Survivors and Fallen...

Options
It's October and National Breast Cancer Awarness month. I just want to acknowledge those who are SURVIVORS and also acknowledge those who were lost in the battle.

SO BIG SHOUT OUT TO YOU!!!!!

I take it to heart because it run's in my family (my mom's side ). My Grandmother, Great Aunt, and Aunt, are all survivors. I did however have a very close cousin who died at 24 from it (RIP Shawnee). Her mom is a survivors. So remember to do your self exams ladies. And get your regular mammograms!! It's very important!

Best wishes to all in the fight!

    My mum has stage 4 bowel cancer. It doesn't have its own awareness month, but god knows I know what it's like to watch someone you love suffer through this bloody awful disease. And to you survivors: you are truly awesome. Lots of love to everyone who is struggling through this, supporting someone who is, or has lost someone they love. My heart goes out to you.

    THANK YOU for this post! cancer is something that runs in my family, and my great-grandma passed away from breast cancer complications when i was younger, and my mom and grandma just passed their exams with clean bills of health! having lost my paternal grandparents to cancer, however, i know how hard it is to watch someone you love struggle with this disease. my prayers and thoughts go out to all who are fighting, have fought, or are loved ones of those affected <3
