10,000 Boobicons by Friday


Feel Your Boobies Foundation is trying to hit 10,000 Boobicons by Friday.  I did mine...

So far over 6,000 Boobicons have been made! Just think of how many people have been reminded to feel their boobies.

Help them hit 10,000 Boobicons by Friday, just in time for National Feel Your Boobies Week.

Make yours now, tell and friend....then, by Friday, change your Facebook Profile pic to your Boobicon to help us celebrate National FYB Week!

I discovered my own breast cancer by feeling a lump....this works~!! Thank goodness my doctor sent me in ASAP for a mammogram and then sonogram. When the results came back to check back in 6 months, thankfully my doctor was not satisfied and insisted that I get a second opinion from a surgeon. I had Stage 2 Breast Cancer...what would have happened if I had waited 6 months for a recheck. Thankfully I will never know and am CANCER FREE today 5 years later.

So check yourself on the front and then pat yourself on the back~!!

Pink in the NFL

Love all the pink in the NFL these days~!! Great tribute to all who have fought (including myself), those whoare currently fighting and those who we remember in our prayers who can no longer fight. This month is always a special part of my life and it brings a certain pride and confidence that we will win this fight one day and our daughters and granddaughters won't have to worry about breast cancer. The day will come..but we must keep fighting.

Met up with a dear friend and cancer survivor who just completed her own battle and saw in her eyes that she now knows that it changes you forever. It either empowers or destroys you....I choose to be empowered and to inspire others to do the same~!!
