Does Anyone Have Any Breast Cancer Testimonials?

Question by : Does anyone have any breast cancer testimonials?
I’m starting a blog to raise awareness in my school and community about breast cancer. My aunt died last summer from breast cancer so I can talk about how her death and the illness affected my life, but I need some more stories to add. Does anyone have a personal story of how breast cancer affected their life or the life of someone they know that I can use? Thanks!

I have been in remission from breast cancer for over five years. If there is anything you would like to ask me, please feel free to email me.

One thing I would ask of you, as you’re raising awareness in your school:

Every day there are questions on this board from teenagers terrified that they have breast cancer. Many of them have clearly had an education session on breast cancer, and then have worried themselves sick fearing that they have symptoms.

Whoever has been giving them information about cancer has neglected to tell them that their chances of having it are just about zero – breast cancer is almost unheard of in under 25s and fewer than 0.1% of all those diagnosed are under 30; only 5% are under 40 and 80% are over 50. The average age at diagnosis is a little over 60.

Spread the word and stop the worry.

Good luck with your blog.
