October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Dear Family and Friends,

By the time I turn 41 at the end of November, I will have had my very first Mammogram. To be quite honest with you I’m scared. Breast Cancer runs very deep in my family and it’s always been easier for me to not know. As I reach the end of my 40th year of life I have the increasing desire to know just how healthy or unhealthy my breast are. I’m going to start by scheduling my appointment, having the exam and then finding my results. I will take you along every step of the way!

I have absolutely NO CLUE what I’m doing…but I’m going to do this anyway! My prayers have been sent asking God to help me figure it all out, so know that I’m not so scared anymore!… I’m just really determined!!

For every female in my family that has been diagnosed or have had their breast removed due to cancer…I’m going to start my journey with you in my mind  and heart,  I’ll use your strength as my  mental support until I can stand on my own clear and free.
