By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Drake Intel Group

DannyAlice Beaird - My maternal great-grandmother

She successfully battled breast cancer not once but twice in the mid 1950's.

grandma

 

Vera Caudell - My paternal grandmother. She successfully battled breast cancer in the 90's.

 

 

 

 

 

mom

Linda Caudell - My mother who successfully battled breast cancer in the early 80's. She was admitted to the hospital for surgery on Thanksgiving.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The woman in my family have battled this in past but now there is the next generation of girls I am worried about.

I was going to write more but then my daughter Natty who is 12 put together this wonderful video. There is nothing more I can add.

Ashley-- tell your daughter that I loved the video.  I also love Twisted Sister, because, you know-- I was, like, in 5th grade when that song was a hit.  I had a Sony Walkman.  Ha!

Thanks!

Thesa - I do. I am at a higher risk because my mother was premenopausal and I been having regular exam and mammograms since my early 20's. My doctors have been on top it for years. Now I have to start being concerned about my daughters (17 and 12) as well.

Wow!!  Please tell Natty I'm touched!  She's only 12?  Wow!!  Double WOW!! 

Very nicely done...you can both add to this later when you feel compelled.  This definitely hits home.  My maternal Grandmother had it...and SURVIVED!!  :-)

Ashley,

Your daughter is very creative.  I am sorry to hear that cancer runs so strongly in your family.  It is amazing that they were all successful in their fight against cancer - they must have been very strong women.

Rita - Her videos are getting better with each one! I never thought about how truly devastating cancer can be as I was growing up with these successful fights. Only as I got older did I see how they can really be.

Ashley~ what an amazing, caring, talented daughter you have (I bet she takes after MOM!)  That a great tribute you put together for you family.  By the way you have a strong resemblence to the lady on the top left, Alice? I think.

Awesome video Ashley!  I too, have it in my family, and it means that we all have to be very careful.  The way to survive it is to catch it early.  All the determination in the world won't help anything except your attitude if it is late and aggressive.

Ashley, WOW, what a great production your daughter did!  1 in 8 really makes you think!  How many people will we know in our lifetimes that get breast cancer?  How can we stop it?

Ashley,

Hope all is well with you. (haven't seen a post from you for awhile) Guess that's a good thing because it probably means you are busy! My mom battled Breast cancer also. It's a very scary thing to go through. Great video and you are sooo lucky to have a daughter like that:)
