Victory for BCN Cottage 65.
Fred Grove has won an amazing victory by forcing B'ham City Council to withdraw the Compulsory Purchase Order on his canalside cottage 34 Belmont Row, otherwise known as BCN cottage 65. Fred had lived in the cottage for 40yrs and was threatened by eviction even though there were no plans to demolish it. AWM and the Council who are planning to redevelop the area argued that the noise and dust of development work simply meant that it was "in his own best interests" to leave. Now a victory has been achieved, thanks to Fred's solicitor, who has persuaded the council to remove the CPO before the matter was due to be discussed at a public enquiry.
34 Belmont Row was indeed, in 1891, a canal toll collector's cottage. More recently in about 2007 BCC slapped a compulsory purchase order on the property as the surrounds were being redeveloped & it was argued that it was, therefore, in Fred Grove's interest to surender the property. Fortunately the cpo was contested successfully.

who grew up to have breast cancer.
The girl on the right is my step mom at age 15.
She was diagnosed with breast cancer about 8 years ago. As a result she underwent the chemo, the hair loss and ended up having a double mastectomy. The years went by and it seemed that she had beaten the cancer.
Three years ago, one week before Christmas, she collapsed, was rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with a brain tumor the size of a softball. The cancer had metastasized. The tumor was removed almost immediately but the doctors said that her chances for survival were not good.
It has been almost three years now since the tumor and almost a decade since the cancer and she is beating all of the odds and still going strong. She is the toughest person I know.
October is breast cancer awareness month. Not everyone gets to have the happy ending that my step mom has had so far. Nearly all of us have been touched in some way by this cancer either through someone we know and care about or some of you have beaten it or are fighting it yourself.
Please, do your self exams, get your mammogram and let's hope that this cancer can be cured for the future of the 15 year olds of today.
YAY! Thank you LynnieB! I wore themt o church yesterday with my denim skirt and a black top. The line is a lil crooked on the left in this photo but I fixed it at church. *grins* I got so many compliments on them. I will be wearing these a lot.
I was recently diagnosed with Pulmomary Hypertension, which means that the blood pressure in the arteries in my lungs is too high. It's an incurable, progressive disease that will cause increasing shortness of breath over time, and will evenutally lead to heart failure. Hopefully that'll be many years away for me.
This is the Pulmonary Hypertension Awareness Ribbon I now carry on my keychain.

I am petrified of breast cancer.
I watched it ravage my maternal grandmother. She died when she was 58. My own mother is currently 57.
In my mind, it's not a matter of "if" I get breast cancer. It's "when." And I hate that I think that.
On the plus side, I do not smoke. I am a vegetarian. I try to eat as naturally as possible. I hope all of that helps me.
I also hope that it is not genetic, if it is, I hope I didn't pass it onto my daughter.
Cancer is an ugly, ugly thing.
