A Mammogram?

well, I guess this is just part of it: screening NEW territory! Having had cancer at a young age and a family history of breast cancer, my oncologist thought it would be best to get a mammogram done. I guess I'm "at risk" for getting other cancers since I already had cancer! So with that being said,I had my 1st ever base-line mammogram done this morning. What a cinch!(or should I pinch!)LOL! I wish my rectal exams were that easy and painless( I have a high pain tolerance:-) and well I don't feel the colonoscopy cause I'm out cold! I wasn't nervous ,just something to check off on my to-do list! But I did have that thought in the back of my head,what if they find something? The Colondar's, March model, recently found out she had stage 0 breast cancer and just underwent a double mastectomy! Such a strong inspiration! They gave me a pink organza pouch with a real freshwater pearl ready to string. Ooooh Aaaah! Nice gesture...What do you think they should give someone who's just had a colonoscopy?

Making of the COLONDAR...

As I was checking my Facebook e-mail the other day, I received a message from Colon Club. There was a notice telling about how they made the Colondar and how it came about,and was now on YouTube. Ericka Kratzer( of Blacksburg,Va) is the Cover model every year. She is a long term Survivor of stage IV colon cancer!She is approaching 10 years cancer free! She represents hope and inspires us ALL! It was last year when I sent in my application, only to find out that they did not choose me at that time. It was something that I so wanted to be a part of ,but realized that God has different plans for me and I believe He wanted me to wait so that I would have even more to share with the world. Going for it again later this year! Well if you have time to watch some YouTube videos check it out Here!
