May the FORCE be with me
After having some much needed R&R this past week, I topped off my time away from home by attending the FORCE conference. The conference is aimed at women (and men too) with hereditary cancer to be able to network, connect, learn and generally be around "peers" in the same boat. I enjoyed the opportunity to be able to be amongst people who shared a common bond and more importantly to be able to share our stories with each other and learn. While sometimes being in a setting with that many women talking about a very sobering subject can be overwhelming, I walked away having reassured thoughts that I made the right decisions for myself. And I feel confident that I continue to make the right decisions and can pass that knowledge along to the "next generation" of BRCA positive women. All in all, I can say that my experience was positively boobtastic. Now I can go get my pretty little gals smashed in the morning at my mammogram knowing that they're here to stay for awhile so that scan better be negative for any problems. May the FORCE be with me.
