Blogging For Breast Cancer, 2020 →… Index to Series (2021 Update)

updated to add posts for 2021

On October 1, 2004 I had a right mastectomy. This is my story. I am a survivor. The series was originally posted in 2007, and has been expanded, since. I run it annually.

Please invite all your friends to read my story. Awareness is very important. If I can help one person I will be very happy.

Hope starts with me.
