It went very well, thank you. Everyone was very receptive and responsive. I had one man come up to me later to tell me that he had lost a colleague recently to Male BC. He was in his fifities. One thing that I wanted to ask you about . . . are most men diagnosed with advanced as opposed to early stage BC? I shared Ed's story, as well as Lyle's. Everyone was touched. It was a special moment for me. There are now many friends of mine praying for you and the Mighty Oak. I also had several men tell me that they had a family history of BC, so I hope I raised the awareness bar a little bit.

Additionally I spoke about a local bike ride fundraiser [for Breast Cancer support groups here in Central Texas] that I am participating in this October. The man who lost his friend is planning on joining our team as well as some of his friends. Overall it was a really great day. By the way, if you want to see a picture of me and my bald head, you can visit my personal page at www.mammajammaride.org and search for Alice Mueller

On a lighter note, even though it's been 5 months since I have been wearing my wig, I still had a couple of women come up to me before church and comment on how much they liked my hair cut!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally I have to plead Chemo Brain here, Marie. I actually came to the site this afternoon to let you know how things went. I logged on, decided to read the new posts first, and then proceeded to forget all about why I showed up here in the first place - so I logged off! Thanks for the prayers, and the nudge - my brain needed it.
