October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Every ribbon makes a difference.

But only 1 of the 4 diagnosed survives breast cancer.
I would like to introduce you to the ladies above. These five women are from left to right: Ethel, Elaine (my grandmother), Ruth, Peggy, and Cecilia. This photo was taken in 1959.
My grandmother Elaine (2nd from left) was the only one of the five who never had breast cancer. In addition, Aunt Peggy (2nd from right) was diagnosed with breast cancer and survived.
This anomaly caught my attention 20-plus years ago when doing my family tree research. Is there a reason why my grandmother didn't get breast cancer while her sisters all did?
Interestingly enough, Aunt Peggy lost a daughter to breast cancer at the young age of 45. As for the other sisters and their daughters or granddaughters, I am not sure.
In my grandmother's family, her two daughters, and their daughters (this include myself) haven't been diagnosed with it.
But that doesn't mean that my sister or I should not do self-exams or get yearly mammograms.
🎗October 🎗 is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, let us remember, support, and embrace the fighters, survivors, and thrivers of this unfortunate disease.
