Being a Voice

Hi everyone, I hear everything that is said.  I sometimes question October Awareness month and remind myself that there are a lot of people out there who have not been directly touched by this disease and know NOTHING - they need to know figures/stats and treatment of this horror disease.  I figure that if I tell groups of people what the disease is then in the event that they/a friend/family member is unfortunately diagnosed then they might remember some of the info or better still "push" them to get checked.  I am trying to word this as to not offend anyone.  From my own perspective I live every day wondering "when" but in saying this I Live life to the fullest whilst I can.  (I don't like to feel morbid and don't want others who are close to me to feel this way either - yet!).  I am very grateful that I don't have to consider chemo/radiation at the moment.  I am living well with secondary breast cancer.  It scares the hell out of me to think about getting to advanced breast cancer BUT one step at a time is ringing in my head.  How did I ever think I would cope with having EBC then secondaries.  The will to live is very strong and I will continue to LIVE whilst I can.  I support a couple of friends who are living with advanced breast cancer and they "appear" to have a similar outlook about "Living the best life whilst they can".  I do "hate" knowing that young women have to endure this disease and pray that the powers to be do find a cure.  Amanda do you still go to the Ian Gawlor Foundation?  He has just endorsed a product that I am going to try.  I will try anything that will keep me well. (I have done loads of research on the product) XLeonie
