I lost my good friend Cheryl to this horrible disease last spring — most of the time I still can’t believe she’s gone — and I just want to wish good health and long life to all the sisters and daughters and wives… Peace.</p> I haven’t had a chance to read all the comments, but I want to say that song is incredibly powerful.

It’s just an fyi. But I’m 53 years old, female, working in Montgomery, Alabama, with no health insurance. If anything happened to me, I wouldn’t even be able to go to the doctor, much less elect surgery, much less get an annual mammogram, much less get my eyes tested, much less be able to go to the dentist.</p> <p>My own fault?</p> <p>Maybe.

I once knew someone who’s brother died by that cancer. Men need to be made more aware of the possibility as well and avoid being blindsided by ignorance.
