Hi girls!
My name is nancy & I was told i was braca 1 at the age of 25. At 27, I decided to get my breast removed. Coming to that decision was the hardest thing, but there after no sweat! I removed them on 9/30/09& I feel GREAT, God has giving me his perfect peace, I am joyful & worry free! It was hard doing this with no support from family, but God was my strenght. My breast look better then before, kept my areola, removed the nipple & got bigger breast.Count your blessings & keep your head up

Keep up the great work. I am a survivor twice and me and my children have a TV, Radio and a newspaper that promote Cancer screening. KIDS S.A.V.E.D 4 Life are my babies caring to share. My five children work with me youngest Eboni (10) host the children show, DJ (11) does camera work and production, Shane (16) host the teen show. We all work together to save lives. I was pregnant with ebi & DJ when I had cancer. Good luck.
bless you,
Travis

WOW! I sat in the same seat with my mother and two sisters two years ago. At the time, it felt like no one in the world knew how that felt. We were all 3 positive and all worried we'd be the one who was negative while the other 2 were positive. You are right, it's a sister thing!
