Where do I begin? I guess I'll begin at the beginning. In August of 2000, my sister, Christine, was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 35 years old. I will never forget, days after the lumpectomy, receiving the call from my sister saying "It's cancer". I felt as though someone just pulled the rug out from under my life. I responded with, "Ok, so how do we fight this?" because there was no other option other than fighting it. I have often thought many times, as I look back on those months at the beginning of all of this, that perhaps my sister had a strength that had never been shown to anyone before; including herself. I hung up the phone and I cried so hard, I lost ability to tell my husband what my sister had told me. All that was running through my head was "Oh my God, my sister has cancer. She is my 35 year old sister with a husband and two little girls and she has breast cancer." It scared me. It scared me because the only other experience I've ever had with breast cancer was with my friend Michele's mother, Susan. I remember Susan as a kind and wonderful woman with a terrific sense of humor who seemed as though her mastectomy didn't faze her. I'm sure it did, but she never let on. She was my friend's mom. She was my friend's really COOL mom who was a beautiful spirit on this earth. She succumbed to the disease in October 30, 1984 and became a beautiful spirit not of this earth. It was 22.5 years ago when the Komen Foundation was only in it's infantcy and there was really no such thin as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. read more
