Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Dear Jan, It is so heart-warming to hear your attitude after you have been through so much. Congratulations on your early detection! I just so happened to have had my mammogram last week. Runs rampent (sp) in my family.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Okie Jan, Just went in for my yearly exam. Waiting on my appointment for the mammogram for next week sometime. Got my blood work in today and everything looks great! All my levels within normal range. I'm a healthy girl! Guess all my reading and listening and taking my vits and mins really worked.
