Lance Armstrong Yellow Band

[OhMari]

I received one from my 19 yr old godchild. She gave me a hug and said, "I know it didn't cost much, but it is a reminder of what could of been." I cried, and wear it with humility every day for the people that actually have cancer in their lives.

Why?

I had a small polyp removed in Dec. 03. benign.

My 20-dd had a postive Pap smear, a leap done in July benign. She has to be checked every 4 months.

My 16 ds had a tumor in his jaw, just had surgery 2 weeks ago and they found a hard bone mass, which was benign also, but we have to go back every 3 months and have it x-rayed and watched.

Life is so scary.

Sorry for posting this, but I saw some Olympic athletes wearing them, and you just wonder what heart ache they have.

Oh Mari! You all have been lucky! I'm so glad. I wear my yellow band everyday because my dad is fighting prostate cancer. His is the agressive kind which will take his life.
It is a great reminder and the words stamped in it mean a lot to me "LiveStrong".

Thanks for sharing. Your Godchild was sweet to give you this.

Older DS wears one. I'm not if he wears it because one grandmother died of metastatic breast cancer (before he was born) & because the grandma he knows beat breast cancer recently, or if he just believes in the cause. I'll have to ask him.

Hang in there OhMari - as a family, you have had to deal with a lot!
