Fight Like A Girl

My wife has breast cancer

 

She found a lump on her own at the end of May, just after her 32nd birthday. On June 10 the biopsy result came back positive.

 

The past 5.5 weeks have been a total blur filled with doctor appointments, tests, insurance issues, etc... all leading up to the surgery she had this past Friday. But most importantly, it's been filled with support and love from family and friends. Getting through all of this without them would be impossible.

 

Don't think for a minute that breast cancer has something to do with age. Breast cancer does not believe in age discrimination. Ladies, please do your self checks. Men, tell the ladies in your life to do their self checks.

 

Why? You can catch it early, like Melanie did. The doctor who did her yearly exam in March missed it... if Melanie didn't bother doing her self checks, she very likely wouldn't have known until next years doctor exam.

 

Check Yourself!

 

Melanie is going to be journaling her experience on her web site: www.melaniebernhart.com

 

A friend of ours made this graphic just for her, after he found out about her cancer.
