It could be your mother, your daughter, your sister, your wife.....
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women - every three minutes a woman in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer.
The chance of developing invasive breast cancer at some time in a woman's life is about 1 in 8 (13% of women).
Women living in North America have the highest rate of breast cancer in the world.
Breast cancer statistics show that over 1.2 million persons will be diagnosed with breast cancer worldwide this year, according to the World Health Organization.
Breast Cancer is a serious disease that could lead to the loss of a breast or even death. However, if detected early, it can be successfully treated.
There is nothing that touch us more than a soul destroying personal experience. I have been walking the road of fighting Breast Cancer with my sister twice. Her pain and suffering is unbearable and just not fair - it has to stop! How else but through understanding, knowledge and awareness. I joined the fight against Breast Cancer
This is what my lens is all about - to provide you with enough information to equip you to join this fight a fight to stop robbing us women from our sexuality, our motherhood, our lives!
This Lens is just for Linda!
My loving sister!
And when I get tired I pamper myself with a sauna, massage, facial, new hairdo or just a new set of nails. But the most joyous of being a woman is when I spent hours making me 'pretty' for my husband's big event. And when we enter the crowded room he will gently claim his prize by slipping his hand into mine - and he will loudly tell everybody 'this is my wife' with a do not touch in his eyes. Oh how I love being woman, whole and complete.
But it is when I ponder on thoughts like these that I suddenly feel guilty. I think of my sister and I see the pain of a chemotherapy aftermath. I see the fear of what tomorrow holds. I see her pale and without hair. I see her desperation to still love being a woman with artificial means; a wig, an eye pencil and breast prostheses. But most of all I see her tears and hear her grief when she tells me: "How do I explain to anybody I miss my breasts"
Oh how I hate breast cancer - I wish I was powerful enough to make it go away. I decided to run for my sister, Linda in a different way. She's too weak and tired to fight the fight but I can!
