People donate their extremely hard earned money thinking that they are helping Cancer patients. I'm here to say that what we need is a cure. Women are more than aware that they need early detection! However, I'm here to share that unfortunately as much as The Komen Foundation would like everyone to believe that early detection will save your life, the sad truth is that 30% of those diagnosed with early stage Breast cancer will go on to have metastatic breast cancer. That's 1/3...1 in 3 or in my humble opinion to damn many!!!
Each year 40,000 women (and men) will die from metastatic breast cancer! That number has NOT decreased in 20 years! That's truly sad considering all the money that is donated each year to Komen, the American Cancer Society and so many others. As I said...we know we need mammo's! Now we need a cure!
I'm going to end this by saying again how happy I am for those who are Cancer free! I know first hand so many and I love each of you! I celebrate your victory every month...not just in October. To my Stage IV sisters...we stand together and wait with hope. Although we may never see a cure, we desperately hope that the next generation will. We have all known far to many that this horrid disease has taken!
Local news...Don is back at work. His Dr told me that I'm now married to a Cancer free husband. Such music to my ears! He was a wonderful patient, although four weeks of recovery wasn't easy for him! Thank you all for your prayers!
That's all for now. We love you and appreciate your continued prayers!
Love...Kathy 💝
