My Dearest Nick-
Thank you for posting the poem.... and yes, I agree, one month a year is not enough!
In 2007, there were 212,000 new cases diagnosed in the USA alone. The list of survivors and the list of those who have lost their battle to breast cancer grows exponentially.
Fortunately, thanks to early detection and some new treatments, a much higher percentage of those diagnosed (95%) are still survivors 5 years post diagnosis.
Thank you for helping to spread awareness.... until the cure is found, early detection is a woman's best protection.
In strength, hope, courage and faith that the cure will be found,
Your friend,
JeanMarie
