My sister found out a few weeks ago that she has breast cancer. They found it very early and the prognosis is very good. She will need to undergo radiation therapy but will not need chemotherapy. She has asked that I convey this story and let people know that it is very likely that she might have not caught this cancer at such an early stage if she had not gone for a mammogram. She also wanted to let people know so that other women take note and get checked and so we men could remind the women in our lives that they should be diligent about getting mammograms and doing self exams. Something so simple could just save a life. Please keep my sister Debbie in your thoughts and prayers and share this story with your friends and family.

Funny how something like this can put life in perspective when it hits so close to home!
