Thank you, Anne and Gayle.

I lost the left one in 1985!!! I was one of the VERY lucky ones; it was caught before it had started to spread, so the mastectomy removed all of the tumor. Ever since, I have my regular checkups and yearly mammograms and I check myself, and there has been no recurrence in all this time.

I feel blessed. At the same time it makes me realize how very important these regular checkups like mammograms are, so I encourage you all to keep current with what's happening with your own body and health.

God bless,
