Re: FYI - the Komen web site has a petition against the new guidelines
I want to thank all of you who have responded to this petition. There have been many more who have viewed this thread. Please don't think you have to reply. I just want you to join our voices by clicking on the address and sending a petition.
I have a 40 year old daughter and I was diagnosed without any family history and was told that this type is not heredity. I want Amy and everyone else's daughter to have access to the best there is to offer.
I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you again for signing the petition and making me feel that I have contributed positively to this board.
Your "bosum buddy",
Sandra
