GO!

Heather and MurphyEver wondered where the money goes that is raised during one of those
"walk for the cure events"? Well, now we know...Heather found a suspicious lump
in a routine checkup and was in one of the best Breast Cancer screening
centers in the country the next day... Susan G. Koman picking up the
tab. Those people don't mess around.
...
So, if you've ever walked or donated, THANK YOU. I'd like to give you
the same tearful hug I gave the ultrasound tech who gave me my good
news (HOORAY!). I only had to worry (even a little) for one night. And
now I have a healthy baseline mammogram which could increase my chance
of survival by up to 24% if there ever is a problem.
After my appointment, I enjoyed a celebratory ice cream cone in honor of the best news I've had in a while!
And ladies, if you think you can't afford to get a mammogram, get off your butt and get one. If I have access, you have access...
love, Heather
