OT - Said goodbye today.
Today I said goodbye to the person in my profile picture. That was us at the Komen Race for the Cure in October of last year.
She has been one of my best friends for 21 years. My college roommate.
She was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2007.
In 2010 it showed up in her liver... after a short remission.
Today, she is unresponsive in Hospice care and will leave behind her husband and 7 & 11 year old children.
Please, if you read this... do your self breast exam. If you are 35 or over, please go get your mammogram. PLEASE take care of yourself.
My friend asked me to continue to be an advocate for her and early detection... so that's what I am doing.

So sorry for your loss. I lost my mother to breast cancer. I would also add that those that have a history of breast and/or ovarian cancer in their family please get tested to see if you have the breast cancer gene mutation. Knowing will give you some preventative options to consider that could save your life.
I'm so sorry for your loss. What a terrible grief for you and her family. *hug*
