HI Gene,

So nice to meet you. I LOVE your mammologues...wish I'd thought of that. Brilliant...and it's nice to see someone else laughing about it. My great grandmother use to say, "You can laugh or cry." - And I've done both, but really, most of the time, it's a choice. We think there's a certain way we're supposed to react to cancer. My aunt survived 16 years longer than the 6 months they gave her...and she credited humor.

Thanks for sharing that you, too, sleep in a bra all the time. It's the one oddity that I can't believe I feel good about because I was sooooo looking forward to going without a bra! Instead of a security blanket, I have a security bra!

...and I love your accent. I'm originally from North Carolina!

All the *breast*,

This is very inspirational. My mom is a breast cancer survivor of 5 years now and she states some of the same things my mom thought about during her treatments and etc.

this left me torn. Awful hard to laugh at cancer sometimes. Nevertheless, doing so certainly can put you in a better mind set-- one where you can be objective, and can do whatever it takes to fight without getting down in the dumps.
