Breast Cancer: It’s Not a Death Sentence
Three years ago, I was the epitome of health. I ate right, exercised regularly, did meditation and just believed I was on a smart and healthy path for the future. There were no diseases endemic to my family. And then I contracted breast cancer.
I won’t dwell on the details of my experience, since I’ve written about it in the past. And ordinarily I don’t jump on the bandwagon for the latest cause-of-the-month. But this month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I feel compelled to reach out to all the women I know, and the men who have women in their lives (although men can also experience breast cancer), to speak to the importance of regular breast exams.
