The Sister Study needs your help to determine if breast cancer is caused by something women come in contact with at work, at home, in their communities or in the personal products they use. <BR/><BR/>The Sister Study is looking for 50,000 women to help discover the environmental and genetic causes of the disease. Women ages 35 to 74 are eligible to join if their sister (living or deceased), related to them by blood, had breast cancer; they have never had breast cancer themselves; and they live in the United States or Puerto Rico. <BR/><BR/>ENROLL TODAY or simply help spread the word to women in your community! Either way, you can help find the causes of breast cancer!!<BR/><BR/>For more information visit www.sisterstudy.org or www.estudiodehermanas.org. Call toll-free 1-877-4SISTER.

We can't just get into the car and go home from the airport. Home is not the place it was, in every sense.

Don't you freaking hate how people expect you to "let go" of this like it was appendicitis? You walk away from any experience with breast cancer forever changed. I love the comparison above about the other side of the street. Most people walk away with a sense of duty - just like you. You make people like me proud to know there are others like you out there.<BR/><BR/>S~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22903048.post-5435030804958398282007-06-19T22:26:00.000-04:002007-06-19T22:26:00.000-04:00The analogy a friend of mine used one time was tha...The analogy a friend of mine used one time was that when we are diagnosed we have to move to a new house on the other side of the fence. We can never go back to the other side. We can look at the other houses, on the non-survivor side of the street, but we can't go there, not again. <BR/><BR/>So we have new neighbors on our side of the street and we do what we can for them, always.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22903048.post-38992736838502938912007-06-19T21:00:00.000-04:002007-06-19T21:00:00.000-04:00Courtney:I have to say.....being a breast cancer s...Courtney:<BR/><BR/>I have to say.....being a breast cancer survivor now myself I struggle with every little thing you said.
