My Story It was 1981 when I painfully watched my mother lose
her battle with Breast Cancer. It was fast and furious, leaving me with
a lifetime of grief and fear. I am now convinced that if we could have
fast forwarded to today, she would still be alive. But back then it was
too little too late.
So, with a heavy heart life went on. As the years went by, my anxiety of
possibly having inherited a Breast Cancer gene increased. Then sixteen years ago, my Aunt was also diagnosed with Breast Cancer. That moment
struck the utmost fear in me; that someday I too would bear the
physical and emotional scars of Breast Cancer.
I felt the world spinning around me, I needed to do something. BRCA
gene testing had recently become an option. And for me, it was the only
choice. If I was BRCA negative, I would live with the same statistics
as most women. But if I was BRCA positive, I would have choices that
could help prevent me from getting hereditary Breast Cancer.
Well, I was lucky, I tested negative for the BRCA gene! A few years
later I received a phone call from a cousin confirming that
she had been tested and was BRCA1 positive. There was a breast cancer
gene in my family, but I didn't have it! This information finally gave
me peace, I was
given a "free pass",not.
In June 2007, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Thankfully it was caught during my annual sonogram!
Now, it's time to fight back. I sayF#%K Breast Cancer! And I ask all of you to help me fund the research to find the cure.In memory ofmy mother and Aunt Marcia,in honor ofGrandma Carole, myself and
