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!! My mom will be finishing radiation next Tuesday. It has been one heck of a year, I'll tell you that! But everyday she gets stronger and keeps on fighting!

    Save the Ta-Ta's!! (:
