It is not just the elephant in the roo...Hi Brandie.<br />It is not just the elephant in the room, because it goes beyond the breasts. I think about the cells and how the invading cells are not intended to be there. The issues of physical, spiritual, and emotional are also part of this process. I know that He that knit you from your mother’s womb knows every issue that you are facing. As of now, it is in the skilled doctors hands, but I believe He who created can intervene; a glorious intersection of the supernatural with the natural. If that does not occur, we can be thankful for the training, care, and precision of the medical profession.<br />Love, Uncle MarkMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16892804953319848464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9866948.post-19645406541994691972011-05-11T06:53:50.963-05:002011-05-11T06:53:50.963-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16892804953319848464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9866948.post-27171016092369868742011-05-10T01:42:16.832-05:002011-05-10T01:42:16.832-05:00We just had the Komen Race for the Cure here and i...We just had the Komen Race for the Cure here and it made me think of you.

And I loved his comment, and Tracey's comment, and...<br /><br />I have not been thinking about your boobs. Honest. Just hoping you're coping as best as you can with the situation you've been given, and that this is just a medium-sized blip that will go away soon. :)Melisa Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14252498482861679154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9866948.post-27808209140836779642011-05-09T20:41:52.825-05:002011-05-09T20:41:52.825-05:00Oh sweetie.

It's that C word, not breast, not lung, not prostate, not bladder. Let's just get rid of that nasty C word once and for all.Home's Jewelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341869424227521520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9866948.post-9135297936554463452011-05-09T12:51:39.889-05:002011-05-09T12:51:39.889-05:00Well I simply can't top Tracey's comment, ...Well I simply can't top Tracey's comment, so I won't try. But will simply say that whether what you feel is accurate or not (while I don't think most of us ARE really think about your boobs but your HEALTH) it IS how you feel. No one can take that from you, that can't be wrong. YOu feel how you feel, and this is about you. So share what you want to share.

Now I'm thinking about your breasts. I am. I'm not interested in girls, but you know, if I were? You'd be top of my list, Brandie. <br /><br />I KNOW you are bright red, aren't you? My favorite thing about you is how you blush; NOT the size of your mammary glands. <br /><br />I guess a man would feel weird talking about penis or prostate cancer, wouldn't he? If it makes you feel better, we can talk about MY boobs too! Seriously. They're not nearly as entertaining as yours are, but I will do it because I love you.<br /><br />Ahem. My BREASTS are feeling a little low today. I need to put on a bra. <br /><br />Ba dum bum!tracey.becker1@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606831315390042198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9866948.post-56043897291007076722011-05-09T08:29:00.976-05:002011-05-09T08:29:00.976-05:00Somehow, that's something I never thought abou...Somehow, that's something I never thought about - that the knowledge of someone's breast cancer would necessarily mean that people were thinking about that person's breasts - and that knowing other people thought about her breasts, could actually cause some 'discomfort' to the person whose breasts were being thought about.<br /><br />Whew.<br /><br />Given that I'm a person who normally entertains himself with thoughts of 'boobs' of various and sundry dimensions/people/etc., I can personally attest to the fact that when the big "C" is involved, thoughts turn from entertainment to concern and care.<br /><br />Really. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13024392628362568010noreply@blogger.com
