Hello ladies, let's get this online support community started!?

Since communities get started with a little bit of sharing and disclosure.... I can start by sharing how breast cancer touched (or touches) my life.

My mom had breast cancer in her mid 30s and my grandmother died of cancer before I was even born. My mom survived the mastectomy, treatment and even the metastasis a few years later! But other women in my family have suffered since.

My older sister was recently referred to do her first mammography - I can't pretend that did not scare me. Now my mom is asking me to go get tested, and I am only 27! Sometimes I wonder if the women in my family should just do like Angelina Jolie and get a double mastectomy before anything...

Any of you breast cancer survivors and mothers can relate?

Go for the mammogram, your imagination is often worse than reality.. If you go it will take away your worry.. Xxx
