My 20 year old son has had diabetes since he was 10 and that is a daily issue. My youngest son died from a rare disease when he was 5. I can understand the devestation that cancer has on families and the daily struggles that come with disease. Thanks for sharing all your ideas and stories.

I love your work and the strength you get and have for your family. My friend just finished 8 rounds of chemo, a double mastectomy and radiation. I was happy to be with herin the hospital for her chemo or giving her rides. She's healthy now, which is a blessing. Your blog is motivational to me.

First Lauren, your an amzing lady, and Alexa even more amazing, I hope and wish the best for her and her sweet little face. My mom had Breast Cancer at age 42, she is now 63 and doing great. I have had 2 uncles that passed. One was 43 he was my dads youngest brother and he left behind 8 kids. My other uncle was one of my dads older brothers. He was in his late 50's. Now.....I am sad to say I just lost my one and only Grandma a couple days ago. Let me tell you, she just turned 93 and was as smart as a whip. What took her life I can't say for sure. She was diagnosed with Breast Cancer about 2 yrs ago, had a masectomy and did very well after. At the age of 93 she was more than ready to go. Not only did she keep her heart with Grandpa its been 30 yrs this year she waited to be with him again and she will now be reunited with my uncles. I am gonna miss her so much. Lauren, thanks for your stories and everything you do and have done in the past. Wow, so many stories.

I lost my Mom, who was my best friend, almost two years ago to cancer. My Mom was given 8-10 years to live but survived 20 years with cancer. She was amazing, not mention the best Nana to my girls! I visit your blog often, I love it!

The first one was only 35 years old when she died..the mother of two small children. She was actually my sister's best friend, but I knew her from parties at my sister's. Then, when she got ill, my sister arranged a "meals on wheels" so that someone cooked dinner and delivered it every night for her family. We must have done this for six months, then she got better for awhile, then became sick again. I really admired her courage..she battled this disease to the very end..she was determined to live as long as she could and enjoy as much of her children's lives as possible..I don't know that I could ever be as brave and cheerful as she remained until the end..she left her children and friends a wonderful legacy, and I think of her often. I really learned from her to live each day and never forget what a gift it is. Another friend died two years ago, very quickly from cancer. Its a terrible disease that I hope will eventually be cured. I’ve lost two friends in the past 10 years to liver/colon cancer.

Thankfully I don't have much experience with breast cancer but do know the importance of early detection. Both of my Grandmothers suffered from colon cancer so at the age of 39 I have already had 3 colonoscopies. Thanks for the challenge to spread the word, make donations for research and for the chance to win great prizes. Love your blog and all you do!

Thank YOU also, Lauren, for what you do for to bring awareness to us. My Mom is a TEN year breast cancer survivor after a radical mastectomy. I don't know what I would do with out her, so I am thankful for any progress that is made to get rid of this awful disease.

My blog would definitely be pink if I had one :) I enjoy your blog every day. I don’t have a blog site either but as a breast cancer survivor wanted to say how much I support breast cancer research.

I most likely don't comment much because, well honestly I have NO good reason. I do have to say that I am constantly amazed by your strength, honesty, compassion, and amazing creativity in the thick of it all!!! I truly enjoy reading your blog every day. My paternal grand-mother had breast cancer 20+ years ago, they did a radical mastectomy and she was cancer free for the remainder of her life. My DH lost both his parents as well as his step-father to brain cancer. Thank you Lauren, for all YOU do!! I don’t have a blog, but I am a loyal fan of yours.
