Have I told you lately how much I appreciate all that you both do to help advocate for breast cancer?? Not only on your plight to conquer this disease for your own journey, but the gentle means you take to conquer it all for others. You happen to be one of my favorite heros Christine, you are an Angel in your own right. Each day that I come here for support or laughter I take a moment to cherish you. Without your passion to help others on this journey, we would not be here at all.

I do not have a response for your question. The only advocacy I deem important enough to fix right now is the Male Breast Cancer Statistics. Wherever I look they are WRONG!! Maybe at some seminar some other time you could talk to people of importance to update their numbers. After all, awareness is the key and these numbers are starting to be off by over 630 men. May not sound like a large number of men but in that WRONG number is my husband!! Again, I just want these agencies of importance to update the numbers yearly, it is 2007, not 1994!!

Sorry for the ranting just my passion coming out Darling!! LOL! I hope you have a great time. Go Get 'em For Us Christine!! Sending Love, Prayers and Positive Energy!!>>Believe51
