another month has passed and i didn't put out a reminder to do your self breast exams.
DO THEM!
it's been 3 1/2 months since my diagnosis. you should've done 3 already!! i know it's not prevention...but it could really make a difference.
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

Meghan, you are so thoughtful to remind all of us - and this is breast cancer awareness month.
I play piano for a local church, and one of the choir members, a 68 year old man, was just diagnosed yesterday with breast cancer. This disease can touch ANYONE! I spoke with him about you, your process, your bravery, your research and information, and gave him your website. He's very confused and scared but is going ahead with surgery and chemo. Thank you for helping me to help him!
