There is a very inspirational post I found about a lady who is battling Cancer. The blog site gives almost a daily process of the events she has overcome and the struggles she still faces. I think that its a very good idea that she has this site because it allows her to know that there are many other people who are going through the same thing and there are also many people who support her.
Cancer has become something that is very known throughout our culture and a blog like this only increases the awareness. I think that this woman is very courageous because she is allowing everyone to see her struggle, however, out of her struggle she in increasing education about the disease. This blog is a great support group and should make everyone realize and be greatful for what we have.
I can relate to this blog because someone very close to me was recently diagnosed with cancer. Marissa emphasizes the importance of family and the support they bring. I think that throughout my family support is the best medication one can have. This blog allows people to help bring about awareness and also support others who need it.
Very important topic. I too went through a very close family member going through breast cancer, before she was 40! She found it herself and went for her mamogram 3 months early because she found a lump. After having both breasts removed they told her if she was to wait for her appointment(only 3 months difference), the cancer would’ve spread through out her body and would’ve killed her within the year! So what i am trying to get to is, check yourself and give monthly exams, if you find something-get to the doctor! Early detection is the best thing you can do for yourself!
