    This little journey definitely hits it right on the head…unfortunately my wife’s biopsy turned out to be one of the 20% so our journey will be a little longer

    I used to work in a hospital and have met many that have had to deal with the C word.

    Thanks for sharing something so personal. Indeed, all those statistics mean nothing when you ARE the statistics. A brave piece. Well done dude – and so glad for the happy ending.

    This dreaded disease touches so many. I lost my brother at 52 a few years back and your right, It causes a great deal of introspection. Great piece, I’m glad your results were benign.

    Having been through simular (my journey started at 22 with cancer on the cervix) this was a wonderful read. Others don\\\\\\\’t always get it.

    My mother had cancer but she died of a stroke. Go figure.

    Once you reach a certain age as a woman, I think this just happens. We all know people who have had cancer, some close friends, and some who have died. We all worry about it, think about it, wonder when it will happen to us, and hope it doesn’t. Good read.

    Katie Marie I just wanted to hug you reading that. Thank you for sharing I am glad everything turned out ok in your case. The fear came through this article and gripped my heart I have seen that damn disease take a 16 year old child’s life and I have seen others beat it but every time we brush up against it we realize just how fragile we are. Thanks for the reminder.

    Much Love
    Brad

    Thanks for sharing Katie–I will never get breast cancer–but it will help me understand if others close to me do.

    Your matter-of-fact approach is the key to the strength of this article. I’ve seen this in our family, and I’m glad you ended up with good results.

    Well written Katie, on a tough subject.

  • Theresa Johnson on Sep 12, 2009
