Let me tell you a little story.
In 2008, it was announced that NKOTB was doing a reunion tour. Yes, thats right...those 5 bad boys from the beantown land. I met some amazing friends online and the night if the concert we hugged for the first time. It was an amazing experience!
We had our little group of friends and decided to form The Etown girls and run for the cure in memory of Elizabeth Wood, Danny's mother who lost her battle in 1999. It was a coooold run. (4C was the high) But we did it.
Just a few short months later, I believe it was January 2010, I recieved a phone call from one of my 'sisters', Krista. They found cancer in her breast. A lumpectomy was performed, but it came down to having to have a bilateral mastectomy at the very young age of 32. We cried together many times that year. I have never told a friend with words that I love them as much as I did that year.
When we walked that year. We walked for Krista. We walked for her daughter, her son and her husband. We walked in the memory of Elizabeth and the hope for a cure. We walked for boobies around the globe. We linked arms and crossed the finishline. We hugged, we cried, we beat the walk.
A couple months later, I found a lump in my right breast. The first person I called was Krista. I was scared. Damn scared. I was booked into my dr within a week and off for an ultrasound at the breast clinic within a month. However, they couldnt give me an answer that day...I had to return in 6 months for a.follow up...sooner if there were changes.
6 months later they determined I had a cyst and I didnt need to go back until I was 40 for my first mammogram.
Breast cancer touches everyone. The patient, their children, their spouse, their parents, their siblings, their friends.
