October is breast cancer awareness months and there is so much on my mind, that I would like to say. Breast cancer -or any other kind of cancer – is not just something that hits older folks; more and more young women and young men are diagnosed as well. Today I would like to express myself in writing.
I follow some awesome blogs, written by really great people. Come to think about, I follow blogs for numerous reasons. Either I enjoy the writing and style, or the subjects chosen. Sometimes, when I get lucky, is all of the above. I follow blogs, because I feel entertained and want to read more. Not just do I want to read more, I want to get to know the person behind the blog as well. It’s like having an extra room in my house, where we all meet and talk about whatever comes to our minds. Meeting the world, without having to leave my house…how convenient is that?
Joe Cocker, one of my all time favorite singer passed away today, he too lost his battle with lung cancer. Joe Cocker was a British rock-singer with an unforgettable raspy voice. I was very fortunate and saw him once live…years ago at an open air concert.
Today in the morning I read the story about a courageous young woman, her name is Brittany Maynard; she is 29 years old and has a very aggressive form of brain cancer. Please, read her story >>>here<<< and join the movement “death-with-dignity”, so that we all one day will have this option if needed.
My Sister-in-law has stage IV lung cancer and right about the time when I celebrated my 5th month of my smoke-free life, she heard her final diagnoses. They gave her only around 5 more month to live. She is just a little bit older and it floored me and everybody else in our family.
