I'm so glad that Melissa is a breast cancer survivor and is giving to such a worthy cause. My grandmother had breast cancer which was successfully treated. We all should be aware of how lucky we all are.

[Gabriela]

My grandmother died of cancer, not breast cancer, but cancer non the less. Melissa I am so happy you are a survivor!!

My great-aunt had breast cancer which was caught early enough to get it all. But, one of my dearest friends has been diagnosed with breast cancer, and can't be operated on due to being very ill with Lupus and a serious lung disease. She is such an inspiration to me because of her persevering faith in Christ and hope in the knowledge that He has a special plan for her life. I just pray for a miracle that the drugs that she can take will kill all the cancer cells. In spite of all her pain and suffering, and completely confined to her bed, Marilyn still wants to give God all the glory and relies on Him day to day, to show her how to live with her illnesses.

[Shirley]
