Re: October breast awareness-LA Times

MCS,

I think you started a good trend. I'm sure our local papers are looking for good stories.

I knew nothing about breast cancer before I was diagnosed. We could all write our stories and share our own experience with cancer.

We could take the work Joe has done on the website on step further and let others know we are here. We can let the public know what we need to advance treatment.

Let's turn our anger and frustration into a focused and constructive force.
