Cancer Survivor's Message of Hope and Health Fellow Homecare Workers, On October 29th, I celebrated being cancer free for 7 years. I am living proof that early detection saves lives. There was no lump, no other symptoms. I owe my life to that mammogram. If I'd waited until I could feel a lump, it may have been too late. I think my message is so much more important now, after the loss of our dear President, Karen Thompson. She was full of love, warmth, compassion and friendship, but she was also a determined, admirable leader who was not afraid to stand up for what she believed in. She fought hard for us to have health insurance, even though that coverage came too late to save her. Now that we have our medical insurance, I think the best way we can honor her memory and spirit is / want my story to be your story. One of hope, survival and being able to live a long, happy, healthy and productive life.^ Debbie Brown, Roseburg to try to not let any more of us die needlessly.
