My mom'...Good for you for being proactive Karen! My mom's breast cancer was discovered at a routine mammogram - they're so important to do. Not nice to go through chemo and all that, but so much easier knowing the odds were good because it was found in such early stages. Very glad the news is good for your daughter!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05203302927029646740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3410985627936537274.post-21188701358356255032011-06-30T10:57:41.684+02:002011-06-30T10:57:41.684+02:00I am bad with this.
