Diane Oser’s Sound Visions

Okay folks. Time to unload your change, piggy banks and pockets

It’s October. Breast Cancer awareness month, and I’m sitting here crying, remembering what I went through, from the beginning to the end.

First, it was the uh oh, something’s wrong. Then it was definitely not good. Then it was this horrible two needle biopsy (two needles implanted in my breast) ,where I was lying on a table in a hallway for hours, waiting for the actual biopsy and told not to move. An inch. And then the diagnose…CANCER. So after that, more horrible diagnostic tests to determine where it was, exactly, and then the decision to lop it off. Okay, I survived that and now have undergone breast reconstruction. Not out of the woods yet. No pity here, please. Just empty your change purses and pockets and please donate what you can. It is horrible, this disease, and the folks that are doing what they can to help us, need to be helped. Every dollar helps.
I’m okay right now, but still have another breast that needs to be monitored. All these tests need to be subsidized. We are mothers, and grandmothers and often single young women who are more and more frequently being diagnosed. Love you all.
