breast cancer survivor, mammogram recommendations

BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR
my wife she was listening to npr radio one day and
heard an interview of the texas poet laureate
she was talking about her year-2010- as the texas poet laureate
where she wanted to go into schools and work with
the kids on writing about their communities and towns

my wife she called her and invited her to come to her school
and work with her kids in her writing classses
she accepted the invitation

she spent the evening with us and stayed at our
place which we call the country n
her story was interesting and she was entertaining to visit with

she spent all day with the kids at my wife shes school
both the kids and her enjoyed it

the texas poet laureates name is karla k morton
she is a breast cancer survivor since 2008
she tired to find books etc to help her through this
crisis     she couldnt find the ones that worked for her so

she wrote a book of poems as she progressed through the diagnosis
chemotherapy surgery radiation treatment and  pet scans
this helped her get through this difficult time
she had long flowing straight hair that fell out  during the time she
wrote the book of poems

she gave us copies of her book      keep them in my exam room for patients
to read

go to www.kkmorton.com/beauty.html to read about her book
of poems called 'redefining beauty'-all written during her diagnosis treatment
and recovery from breast cancer

MAMMOGRAM/BREAST CARE RECOMMENDATIONS
the different medical organizations cant seem to agree on when and
how often to do breast care and mammograms
until there is a consensus then

recommend in my practice to

do monthly self breast exam
do annual breast exam by medical provider
do annual mammogram starting at 40 years old
do at 35 years old if patient wants it

FOOTBALL 
was doubly disappointed watching football yesterday
hope today is better
