[QUOTE=niceguyeddie;71206]I just found out today that someone I work with, whom I've known for a decade has cancer. She's a single mom in her late 20s so I would've never expected this. She's so positive and strong it was tough for me to believe something was wrong with her. The owner of my company announced it today because she's been out sick for a few days.

I've had just about enough of the big "C" in my life: Lost my maternal grandma to colon cancer in early 2001; paternal grandpa to Cancer of the blood, I believe, in 2000, paternal aunt to I believe cervical cancer in 2006 and my dad to a very aggressive form of stomach cancer this past March-gone in 4 mos.

NRI would be honored and proud to have his name on your shirt!

Early this year my wife was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma and it was a very early detection... It was removed from the bridge of her nose with the "mote procedure" and there is literally no sign of the surgery... She had stitches from top to bottom on her nose, in order to see the scar you would have to be six inches from her face, literally...

Being a red head AND growing up out in the sun, I make annual trips to the dermatologist... Just went one month or so ago and they always end up freezing about 5-6 spots on my face... A former dermatologist that I was seeing told me that with my skin type and the spots that he detected that I should be coming in for exams every SIX MONTHS...

DON'T delay folks, this is serious stuff... I lost a close friend from church earlier this year from the long term effects of four years of basal cell carcinoma... My father has had some pretty major surgery on his ears/nose as did his mother...

Getting set up with a dermatologist can be a pain in the azz because they are SOOOOO busy but please please take the time and get yourself checked out... In the last 10 years I would estimate that I have had 50-60 spots frozen/scraped/removed from my face/arms/shoulders...
Please don't hesitate to give me names, that's my purpose and goal. I want people to see just how many people are effected by Cancer. Don't worry about me not having enough room on my shirt. I will wear a head to toe leotard if I have to, but I WILL MAKE EVERY NAME FIT! Without awareness we can't warn others to get checked and save their lives.
