I have a similar post to this on my blog. Thank you for sharing this and communicating the issue so eloquently.

I mean, really? I just mentioned in my latest post that I NEVER want to wear the pink shirt at a Race for the Cure race. I don't want to be a "survivor" I want to be a "previvor".Erin Rettighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10792504661356845823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115238618929495756.post-4897744663637027982012-05-06T11:48:57.416-07:002012-05-06T11:48:57.416-07:00Also I have saved your post and have sent it to my...Also I have saved your post and have sent it to my friends and family that are SO glad to be learning about BRCA and how to raise awareness. Maybe they will circulate this atrocity (sp?) :)The Pink 1https://www.blogger.com/profile/17522049927488981078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115238618929495756.post-5612752860147031832012-05-05T20:43:18.885-07:002012-05-05T20:43:18.885-07:00Ohhhh girl!

I am 12 yrs out from Leukemia. I Previved BC and in the fall after the BSO, will PREvive OC! I hate that you had to read that. People are DUMB DUMB! You've been through tons, no you haven't had cancer but you've had tons of set backs and trials! So speaking from experience, your stuff could be considered as bad or worse than some BC cases. Just sayin. It's not a competition Previvor vs. Survivor it's about living as well and as long as we can! At times I feel that us BRCA people have it worse than the random BC people because of it being just that ...RANDOM. It's no less serious but being BRCA to me is almost a certainty. I try not to think to heavily like that but still. I have a friend that is my age, 35, who had stage 1 last year and I used her PS for my reconstruction. My surgery was worse than hers and SHE had more options with her's BECAUSE she's not BRCA. It hit me then, that this shit IS serious and no doubt was my only option. I wish I could finagle my way on to the Today show or Goodmorning America! I could talk probably the entire show about this lol! Sorry I ranted away on here :). Moral is those BITCHES SUCH ASS!!! Haha...feel free to copy and paste this to their dip shit feed ;) (I hope I haven't offended you with my cussing but girl, this fired me UP!)The Pink 1https://www.blogger.com/profile/17522049927488981078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115238618929495756.post-69906818009326843402012-05-05T17:14:38.209-07:002012-05-05T17:14:38.209-07:00WELL SAID!!!

I'm also hope the "pre" choices you made/are making make all the difference not only for you but your daughters too. Keep up the good work!
