QotD: The Fight Against Breast Cancer
Its Breast Cancer Awareness Month. How many people do you know that have been touched by the disease?
Submitted by Karen.
I don't know. On-line, a few. Off-line, a couple.
This includes me.
My adoptive mother died of bone cancer almost 20 years ago which was secondary to breast cancer she had when I was 9, 11 years previously.
She didn't keep up the check-ups ~ we moved country, there was no continuity of care. It makes it more annoying if anything that there was no reason for this: we were not poor by any stretch, and always had good quality private health care. She... just didn't.
The balloons are from our work 'support Cancer research / Breast Cancer Awareness Month' day. We wore pink, we sponsored a balloon that was released with a tag. I wonder where mine will end up.
