Help Prevent Breast Cancer

[IronCaballo4]

I lost a friend yesterday to Breast Cancer, she was only 42. I ask of you all to click on this link:

http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/c...jects/CTDSites

Then click on the button that says "Fund Free Mammograms".

It's absolutely free, and if you click once a day, it'll help pay for free mammograms for women who cannot afford them. So bookmark this site, send it to your friends, and with something as simple as the click of a mouse, we can all make a difference.

Thanks,
Chris

Done. And I'm sorry for your loss.

Cancer is such an insidious disease, I hope we can find a cure for it, and soon.

Again, my condolences.

[WashingtonYankee]

Chris- I am really sorry. I know what it's like to have someone who has/had breast cancer. My aunt is going through it. If you ever need to talk to anyone, I'm always here.

And my thoughts are with you and your family.

[Trish]

This would be a good thread to "sticky."

Breast cancer has touched most of our lives. I lost my Mom to it 12 years ago, and a friend (45 years old) in November. She left two young children.

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend.

[Eldee5]

I'm truly sorry about the loss of your friend.

Coincidentally, I received an e-mail from a friend today that will also help with funding for breast cancer research. I wasn't aware of these until I got the e-mail.

Breast Cancer research needs all the support it can get...
Please keep this going for a good cause!

New M&M colors

Pass this on to all of your friends. There are many women out there who have breast cancer. Let's do all we can to support this cause.

New Pink & White M&M's

The maker of M&M candies has teamed up with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation to raise funds through the sale of their new "pink & white" M&M candies.
For each 8-ounce bag of the special candies sold, the makers of M&M (Masterfoods) will donate 50 cents to the foundation. The next time you want a treat, please pick up a bag (now sold in stores nationwide) - you will be donating to a great cause and satisfying your sweet tooth.

Please pass on to all your family and friends. -- Thank you.

Anything that can be done to help funding is a big plus.

[wexy]

Sorry to hear about your friend. Its a horrible disease.

[IronCaballo4]

This would be a good thread to "sticky."

How do I do this?

And thanks a lot for your help and your kind words everyone, it means a lot, y'all are the best

[Dooley Womack]

I don't think us mere mortals can sticky a thread. It has to be done by a moderator or the administrator of the site, and I'm not sure what type of thread qualifies. I don't see why this one wouldn't though, since there's an ALS thread "stickied." You could email Jim and see if he'd allow it.

[yankees27]

Very sorry for your loss. I clicked last night and this morning.

[IronCaballo4]

Thanks for your help so far everyone...I hope you all remember to click on the site everyday, it only takes a few seconds and it's free...so help some people out, and send this site to your friends too

[jlw1980]

So sorry to hear about your friend.

I used to click on this site every day, and haven't for some time. There's a lot of causes you can help at that site just by clicking once each day.

[IronCaballo4]

Please don't let this thread die, guys...keep on clicking...and share this site with everyone!

[Trish]

I added the site to my signature, so this way at least I'm sure that I'm clicking it every day.

Have you asked a moderator of this could be stickied?

[YankeeClemens22]

I've clicked every day this week so far. Regular bumping of the thread should keep it going.

[Luvtino]

I am so sorry about your friend. Very sad news.

I clicked yesterday and again today. I will do so every day from here on out. Anything I can do to help. Great idea sweetie.

[1961]

I've only clicked twice so far but I'm really trying to make this part of my daily routine.

[NYYRules#1]

I just clicked too, second time today.

Your sig actually helped remind me sweetie.

[IronCaballo4]

Thanks for all the help everyone, keep clicking and a BIG thanks to whoever stickied this thread for me!

[Luvtino]

I have been vg about clicking. It is nice to see the numbers rise each and every day.

[ladyleo]

I'm sorry to hear of your loss.

As a breast cancer survivor, I go to this site a lot. They even send me frequent reminders (although I can't remember now how I got on their mailining list).

[IronCaballo4]

Yeah, the numbers have been shooting up...thanks for clicking everyone!

[YankeeGalSC]

I clicked.

I have heard of so many women losing their lives to breast cancer but don't know anyone personally who has been affected.

Also, there is supposed to be a postage stamp that is coming out. It will cost .40 vice the normal .37. The extra 3 cents goes to fund breast cancer research. I don't know if the stamp is out yet.

[wexy]

I clicked again but I am not ordering those pink shorts though .

[1961]

I had a little umm, interruption in my routine but I'm back on track with clickey-click.

[krystl]

I'm sorry it took me so long to see this. I am clicking...

[Luvtino]

When I started clicking it was at 57 and we have now gotten it up to 124. That is awesome!!

That stamp is out and available at the post office.

[Trish]

That stamp is out and available at the post office.

That's all well and fine, but I think you should order those pink shorts. Think of it as supporting the cause

[Mickey]

That stamp is out and available at the post office.

That stamp has generated 10.4 million dollars to breast cancer research as of December 2004. It's the highest volume stamp sale ever......followed by the tribute to the fallen heros of 9/11.

[Luvtino]

Thanks for the info on the stamps everyone. I am going to go and pick some up this weekend.

[Luvtino]

Let's try and break 100 this month!!

[bxny]

I hope everyone is continuing to click.

I can tell you firsthand that breast cancer can happen to anyone. My wife had her first mammogram in March which detected a "cluster" which led to a biopsy that proved to be cancerous. Fortunately it was detected at stage zero and will not be terminal. She did have to have a mastectomy and will be going through reconstructive surgery for the next 8 months or so. Small price to pay to get cancer out of our life. Had she waited another year to get a mammogram it would've been a completely different story. Early detection is the key to survival.

EVERY woman should have access to a mammogram. Lets all get behind this great cause.

Thank God she's going to be ok!

I'll keep clicking, and I can't forget to call the doc to get my mammo prescription. I keep forgetting

Link is clicked.

My friend lost his mom in his senior year of HS.

[wexy]

My friend Alicia just got diagnosed. She's in her early 40's. It really sucks

[in MO I trust 42]

consider it clicked.

[CTSoxFan]

Clickety-click-click-click.

I made the site my homepage. Will think of you every time I click it. Godspeed.

[yankeesfaninaz]

I clicked. Im so sorry for your loss. I know what it is like to see someone go through cancer. My mom is a leukemia survivor.

[Boricua21]

Done as well. My condolences. I will make sure I try to click everyday and will try to tell others.

[wexy]

Quoting myself, I ran into Alicia, she's doing well, they caught in early and she's nearly done with radiation treatment and was lucky not to have to go through chemo.

She's a nurse and got a job working at the hospital where she's being treated.

Very sorry on the loss of your friend. Folks should also be familiar with the American Cancer Society (www.cancer.org). I've been a volunteer and board member of my local unit for nearly 15 years now and can tell you there is much more help, information and best of all support available than most people realize. PLEASE support any legitimate cancer fighting cause.

I cannot stress enough how important mammograms and self examinations can be..

I was recently diagnosed with Stage II BC...underwent a 'partial' masectomy/lumpectomy on Nov 11th. I say 'partial' because the tumor was over 2 cm and the tissue surrounding had to be removed.
I also had 4 lymp nodes under my right arm removed...thankfully, they were all negative.

I felt a small lump about 10 months ago, but my alter ego, 'Cleopatra-the Queen of 'Denial' set in as there is no history in my family, and both my sister and Mom suffered from 'Fibrocystic tumors' in their breast.
But in the last 10 weeks is seemed to be getting larger, and when I finally made the appointment with my PP (primary physcian) it had grown to 2 cm., and I was feeling an occasional burning sensation in the area.
When I hear women say they don't have yearly mammograms because...'It hurts'...wah wah wah"...I want to slap them!
"Let me tell you about pain, Girlfriend"... Thank God for Percocet & Darvocet..
My prognosis is good...I will start radiation therapy the first week in Dec. Five days a week...for 6 - 8 weeks. No 'day at the beach' for sure, but I'm a 'tough ol' broad' and this WILL NOT GET THE BEST OF ME!!..

Bottom line...If you have a Mother, Sister, Wife or Girlfriend over 40 years old...PLEASE!! PLEASE....tell them how important a yearly mammogram is, and God forbid...they feel a lump, no matter how small...GET IT CHECKED OUT!!!.

As my 'treatment' progresses, I'll post again.

Thanks for reading 'my' story...pass it on.

I know you're a tough cookie, but I'm sorry that you have to deal with this. Damn....I just don't understand this disease...

I'll be keeping you in my thoughts.

[twinks34]

Two of my teachers are currently battling breast cancer. My neighbor had breast cancer.

Gringaloca, I'll keep you in my thoughts.

Women, please please please get your yearly mammograms and do self examinations.

Wow, that's really scary. Best of luck to you, I'm sure you'll beat this horrible disease.
