I WAS IN DENIAL THAT ANYTHING BAD COULD HAPPEN TO ME. THEN CAME THE WORDS YOU HAVE BREAST CANCER. IT KNOCKED ME TO MY KNEES. THE HOPE CANCER CENTER IN ASHEVILLE,NC CAME TO MY RESCUE. THANKS TO A WONDERFUL CARING DOCTOR ASHLEY CASE. I HAVE BECOME A SURVIVOR AND NOT A VICTIM. I REFUSE TO STOP DOING WHAT I LOVE SUCH AS MY JOB AND SEWING AND BAKING TO WORRY ABOUT IT COMING BACK. I BEG EVERY WOMAN AND MAN 50 AND OLDER TO BE SCREENED FOR THIS DISEASE. MY HUSBAND ,FAMILY AND MY WALMART FAMILY WERE THERE FOR ME. I WANT TO BE THERE FOR THEM. NOVEMBER 17 IS MY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY. YOOHOO THINK PINK.
