Description It´s breast cancer awareness month and ´cause of that I upload a piece that is pretty special and touchy for me.

First I want to give you some facts for thought
-1 in 8 women in the U.S. are diagnosted with breast cancer
-1% of breast cancer cases occur in a man
-breast cancer is the most common cancer for women in the U.S.
-every 13 minutes a woman dies of breast cancer in the U.S. and every 74 seconds somewhere in the world, someone dies from breast cancer...
-but when breast cancer is found early and confined to the breast, the 5year relative survival rate is 99%
(infos from here: www.rexhealthblog.com/images/R…
and more infos around the web.)

I want to make you alert for this, ´cause when it comes upon you, it will be much easier to deal with it.
My mother just discovered breast cancer at the beginning of this year, it was found early, so that she could beat it and is near to an recovery. Through this I´m aware ´cause it affects everyone in your beloved environment. For me as the daughter something collapsed and I had to see my mother with other eyes. Beside of that, be thankfull for who your parents are...
I wish I could say this all with propper english, but I'm running out of words.

Just be aware, learn how to self exam and go to mammography... the life you save could be your own.

This is such a very powerful piece...

I don't know anyone who has suffered from Breast Cancer, but I've lost quite a few family members over the last 2 years to other cancers to the woman body... It's really devastating and you definitely feel helpless watching someone go through it. But your mom is lucky, and I'm very happy to hear that she is coming through recovery very well

Beautiful work dear, everything about it is so beautiful.

This is an equally inspiring piece that shows that anyone can be strong when they need to be.

Dealing with cancer in any form is scary and I could never imagine having breast cancer.

I hope your mom has a full recovery and that everything will be fine.

Thank you for the support for breast cancer this month.

You're amazing.

thank you so much, I really appreciate your words
No one knows how to deal with it, I saw and talked to so many infected women who had so much fear in their eyes, its frightening...
my mom is going better, her hair already growing back. Its really no beauty in this disease.
anyway, I´m so thankfull
