   You know it was about 35 yrs ago when our cousins wife developed breast cancer. At the time I had very little knowledge of this disease, when I saw how ill she was I just thought this is just another stage of cancer that just happens. I almost felt no compassion because she was a very mean spirited woman however, developing terminal breast cancer changed her a lot. Today when I think about the pain and torment she must of gone through I do feel compassion. Breast cance is so common among us now that we openly talk about it and are learning that we must take care of ourselves and be dilligent in self and clinical exams monthly and yearly.
   I was twenty two years old when I discovered my first lump and have had mamorgrams ever since. I was diagnosed last year with breast cancer.
   I chose to go with a masectomy and to this day I do not regret that decision. We people of color do not take our health serious enough and I told about my cousins wife because I did not take her breast cancer serious. I realize now that I should have been advocate back then because of the lump that I found. But that is not all of it. I found lump after lump every five to ten years since then. I realized that someday that lump just might be cancer but I looked at it this way it is what it is.
   Not no more do I view it that way. I have vowed to become an advocate for the fight to stomp out BREAST CANCER.
