Breast Cancer Knows No Boundaries
If you think you are too young or too healthy to be concerned about breast cancer, you are mistaken. Breast cancer attacks without discrimination. Even men can develop breast cancer; in men it is almost always fatal because they have less tissue to be affected and therefore the cancer more quickly spreads to other parts of the body.
I have known many women who have suffered from breast cancer and survived the ordeal.
My paternal great-grandmother had breast cancer twice. She ended up having both breasts removed at separate times. The breast cancer is not what killed her though. After winning against breast cancer, she died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 102.
My maternal grandmother had both breasts removed due to cancer, and ultimately died of stroke.
A very dear friend of mine developed breast cancer before her 35th birthday. She had one breast and lymph glands removed; then several years later had the other breast removed due to a recurrence of the cancer. That was at least ten years ago, and as far as I know, she has been cancer-free.

Text with BIG Picture
Why do I love writing? Words, especially English words, have always fascinated me. The English language is so different from others and from what I hear, the most difficult to learn. There are a dizzying number of rules to follow and meanings for words themselves.
I suppose that I am fortunate enough to have been born in America, and learned to speak English from the get-go. I have tried to learn other languages, but have not been successful thus far. It is a good thing that I happen to have a talent for that which I love... expressing myself through the written word.
However, my love for words is the least of my motivation. I write because it is a form of release for me. It is a way for me to get introspective, if you will. When I write, I can express myself without fear. I can then reevaluate what I've written to see if it is reasonable for me to be feeling that way. Writing is a form of self-examination for me.
For a time in my life, I wrote to release anger, frustration and fear. Over the course of my lifetime, I was able to see that the ideas I'd had about myself were based solely upon what others had told me, and I knew nothing of who I real was. It allowed me to learn from my experiences and grow from there. Now I can read the things I've written in the past and see how far I have come. Writing has given me something to be proud of. It has also allowed me to be able to help others overcome some of the challenges I have faced. We all are faced with the same challenges, just to different degrees. However, I feel that the path I have taken has put me in a position of being able to shed new light in the darkened corners of others' lives. I'd like to share with you my memoir. It is not only a beautiful love story, but it is a learning experience. I offer the use of my life and the challenges I've faced, to you so that you may learn how to transform your own life. Walk with me for a while. I am sure that if nothing else, you will be entertained by my story. My life has been truly unique.
