Do give her my best wishes and keep us posted. Thanks, Phidelm. I feel that this is often forgotten, too. Hi, Ellee. You are right. We all know of someone who is, or has been, affected. I hope lots of people support this campaign.Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-90204549802598561052009-10-20T20:53:11.632+02:002009-10-20T20:53:11.632+02:00I don't know anyone who hasn't lost a frie...I don't know anyone who hasn't lost a friend to breast cancer.

And I'd like to add, trust your instincts, doctors don't always know best.

A lot of women tend to ignore it and it must be heartbreaking nursing some of them at the end. You are also right that we need to be aware ALL year round. Hi, James, I'll look that up now.Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-12963146043140627542009-10-18T16:02:34.597+02:002009-10-18T16:02:34.597+02:00That girl who just set off on the round the world ...That girl who just set off on the round the world voyage has a boat all in pink.

It's so hard nursing these people in their last few hours when they say "I wish I had gone to the doctor" or "I wish I had had the operation as right now I would not care if my breasts had been taken away" which often are their last words.<br /><br />Breast and testicular cancer should have an awareness month every month of the year. It is not choosy what age group it attacks and of all cancers it is a painful and prolonged death caused often by reluctance to have a lump investigated for fear of ending up with one breast or testicle, but caught early can have a huge success rate of overcoming.<br /><br />I'm glad you brought this up Welshcakes. The public need to be constantly reminded I think.Devonshire Dumplinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407865033197615356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-8584817230518105722009-10-18T10:01:34.959+02:002009-10-18T10:01:34.959+02:00Well done wl..yes a very good idea..lets see how m...Well done wl..yes a very good idea..lets see how many more we will get...I am having a good look to see if I can do one.Anne in Oxfordshirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14479380647784781207noreply@blogger.com
