Thank you for sharing your story and really trying to bring a lot of attention to cancer causes.

If you aren't already familiar with it, I suggest you check out Living Downstream by Sandra Steingraber. I think you'll really find it interesting and informative.

Would you be willing to create an unlocked version of this post that I can link to from Betty's Daughter Speaks Out, or put it in a form that I can put up as a "guest post"? If not, that's cool, but I'd love to promote the donation process, and women's stories, in that forum.

I would love to do that, thak you for the offer!
