Whenever I get a chance to talk to a group of women about health care, I emphasize that early detection of breast cancer is the key to saving lives.
Last Saturday, I talked with women attending the Camden County Women's Health Fair, an annual event that has lots of vendors and workshops on all aspects of physical and mental health.
I talked about life lessons I learned over the last year as I went through treatment and recovery from breast cancer.
The best part came at the end of my speech when a woman came up to me and said she he'd had a biopsy done but hadn't followed up. After listening to me, she planned to follow up.
That made my day. One more woman who is taking care of herself and will fight to continue to be there for her family.
As I told the women attending the conference, life is good.

Breast cancer is associated with farm chemicals. Here in Brandonville Schuylkill County Pa. where the wellsare laddened with high cancerous nitrates and a mad farm family that has no love for there neighbors or the environment is where a breast cancer study should be done. Here breast cancer is door to door in this little town that Obamma talks about. I read that fungicides used on strawberries could be the cause if its not high nitrates. Here its all being covered by the political arena since 1987 two years after this mad so called farm family moved here and in my opinion they are the ones responsible for the Chesapeake Bay pollution. The Dept of Health is the Dept of Agriculture which covers up for the crimes here. My fight in all these years have gotten me nowhere and my mother died from breast cancer. Everyone is looking for the cure when the cause here is simple.
