You continue to amaze me, and I'm grateful that you are a beacon of hope as you share your story that others may become aware of the hidden risks. May your 'circle of influence' be equal to your 'circle of concern'. I pray the tender mercies of the Lord will hold you in the hollow of His hand as you go forward in this humanitarian mission. You are still my hero.
Cynthia you are amazing. How you stay so positive and upbeat after going through so much is a lesson for all of us!
great work!!!!!!!!!!!! Cancer is such an insidious disease. Far too many people are dying of this disease. I am glad you could and can help so many people to live!
After being diagnosed with breast cancer last year, I had the gene testing done. I was negative, but opted to have a bilateral mastectomy, chemo, and reconstructive surgery. I'm happy with my decision - although the reality of the surgery has been very difficult. I'm also grateful to have had the gene testing done. You have such a great attitude - thanks so much for helping other people become aware. Good luck with your foundation work.
Sincerely - Kara Herron
I am a cancer survivor and this article was real helpful. Thank you.
Cynthia,what a terrific article! Not only do you have courage but you also have heart! You are an angel spreading hope and encouragement to those who are suffering. I admire your sweet spirit! Keep doing great things!
You are very brave and a great example to all! Thank you, Cynthia!
Being a soldier over 22 years and now working for law enforcement gives you the opportunity to be around very brave nad courageous individuals, but also knowing Cynthia as a good friend lets me know another brave and courageous soul. Thank You Cynthia for sharing your story to many others!
God places us on this earth for certain reasons during the right period of time. No one asks for their trials, but when one comes up fighting and assisting others, then that person has gone the extra mile by understanding their purpose of life. Life is hard but with courageous men and women, life is more do-able. Cynthia, you are my hero and I thank you for your strength and courage.
Cynthia, as a man struggling with cancer I appreciate even more your strength. Especially, your strength of character.I hope we'll hear more from you in the near future!
I was impressed by Cynthia being so proactive in educating others on "pretesting" against Breast Cancer. I was touched also,that all the sisters are carriers of the cancer. Each one of them are heroes for stepping out of their comfort zones, and educating others, and living full lives. Being that last Month was dedicated to Breast Cancer awareness, I am happy that there are "many" ways to be informed, but truly touched when the info comes from a "constant" survivor. Who herself lives it everyday and cares about others too. Thank you Cynthia
Thank you for sharing your story with the world! I agree you are both an angel and a hero for sure. You are my inspiration and I am so proud and honored to call you my friend! Your encouragement got me through my tough times in chemo and radiation. I wish you all the best in teaching others. I hope you will tell them to be in control of their own health and not just trust mammograms, but do self-exams too! Keep up the GOOD WORK! :)
