Editor’s Note Alice Y. Boswell Breast Cancer Awaremenss Month.............. During my yearly physical, a lump was found in my x-rays. The first emotion: I cried. Then I thought about my son, my family, my friends, I even thought about the guy that I had the crush on for so long (and still do). I thought about all my dreams that I haven’t completed. It was the most terrifying time in my life, and I have been through some bad times. I am really happy that my bestie was there with me from beginning to end. I didn’t have cancer, but a scar was left to remind me to always get my mammogram done on a regular basis. Please, take care of yourself, have your mammogram done and check your own body on a regular basis. You will LOVE yourself for it.
