Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month [1], I have been hearing a lot about this disease. Of course my favorite thing to hear are the stories from survivors — we all need to hear that whisper of hope in our ears, since so many women are touched by breast cancer.

It's important to share all our stories with other women to give us a sense of community and strength. Whether you have been diagnosed with breast cancer yourself, or a family member or friend has been, I'm sure most of us know someone who has been affected by this disease. It's for those women that we continue our fight against breast cancer.

I'd be honored to hear how you've been touched by breast cancer so if you feel comfortable sharing your stories, please do so in the comments below.
