You've all probably noticed that I have a pink ribbon next to my picture over there on the right side of the page. While I am not personally a breast cancer survivor, my older sister was diagnosed with it at age 34. She had a radical mastectomy with reconstructive surgery, and 9 years later is cancer-free.
Because of my family history, I strongly suspect that I will wind up with breast cancer someday. I think it's important to be realistic about that; I hope no one feels that it is pessimism on my part. Early detection is the key, and awareness of your history and cancer likelihood could save your life.
All that said, please go visit this page and leave a comment. This man lost his wife to breast cancer, and is holding a comment drive to raise funds for breast cancer research and assistance programs for cancer patients. All you have to do is go to the page and leave a comment. He's got several "matching" contributors who will also donate for every comment he receives.
Please go take a look. A cure will be found for breast cancer, and in turn, for all other kinds of cancer.
