Men Against Breast Cancer: Why We Are Here

My mom, breast cancer survivor Gloria Heyison, and me   The five most horrifying words I have ever heard were, "Your mom has breast cancer." It was March of 1992, and I was 29 years old. The fear and hopelessness I felt were summed up in the overwhelming question: Was Mo...

I wished I had learned of your conference earlier. There isnt any way I could attend now but Id very much like to remain on your mailing list. My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer 3 years ago and Ive been by her side for every treatment and appointment she has had.I am very passionate about breast cancer awareness. I wear a bracelet 24/7 and have BC license plates on all of my personal vehicles. Id like to learn more about your organization and would love to become involved . Note my wife has been cancer free ever since her surgery and we are upbeat about her prognosis. Thanks for sharing your story.

I think what you are doing is phenominal. I think "support for the supporters" is much needed. I was diagnosed in June 2007 and the conference is too close now for my husband to attend, but I know it will be something we consider in the future.

 

Thanks

Since October is Breast Cancer awareness month, I am looking to raise awareness and money for this great cause. I have found numerous etsy shops that are willing to donate prizes as giveaways during the month to get more people to come to my blog and donate.


I will be putting links in my sidebar that will allow visitors to donate to Susan G Komen and hopefully to Keep a Breast.


I am looking to have some guest bloggers leave posts about their own interaction with this disease. Whether it's about surviving, losing a loved one, hair loss, testing, being related to someone with bc, informational, poems, etc. Anything breast cancer related. It can even be a copy of a post that you have already posted on your blog.


If you can be of help or know someone that can, please pass this email on to them.


My mom is a breast cancer survivor which is why I have gotten involved with this charity.


Please let me know if you can be a guest blogger on my blog in October asap so that I can get a schedule going.

Thank you so much!


Tina

Yes, definitely see a doctor about this. It's a breast change, and breast changes should always be reported to your doctor. Good luck - PJH
