Laura Ingraham Has Breast Cancer

I wish her well. I don't know her exact age, but she can't be a whole lot older than I am. I relate to her in many ways, from upbringing to views to general appearance, etc. Kind-of a personal shocker to me even though I don't even know her. Off to schedule an overdue smashogram.

Go kick this Laura! Mom is 12 years cancer free Happy

SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE TODAY!: Laura's breast cancer was picked up during a simple breast examination by her OB/GYN. The tumor was not even visible on a mammogram! You MUST make sure that you, and every woman in your life does a monthly breast self-examination. Learn to do it correctly, slowly, carefully. If you feel ANYTHING that seems strange or unusual, go immediately to your OB/GYN. Make sure that you and/or the women you know go for an annual gynecological appointment for a comprehensive check up. Laura is embarrassed to admit she had not been to her doc in more than three years. Really stupid (her words, not ours). Don't be afraid to ask your friend, girlfriend, sister, mother, or wife if she has done everything to detect breast cancer. We all need someone to remind us, get on us, demand that we take care of ourselves.

That looks promising, since it wasnt visible on a mammogram.

... yesterday afternoon -- already home from the 8am surgery! I guess they saw it on an ultrasound and normally such types of tumors are just "kept an eye on" because they are usually benign cysts. They told her they were surprised at how aggressive the little thing seemed, so good thing she got it while small. She sounded in really good spirits especially considering she just had surgery and found out only a few days ago. I'm just realizing with all the dental work I've had done in the past couple of years, I've neglected to go for my annual "woman stuff" visit, and really am due for a mammo with the history of breast cancer in my family.

Laura Ingraham is a class act. She is a tireless proponent of all that makes America a great country. I hope everyone takes a moment to send her a 'get well' message. I set up a web page where you can send your comments directly. Please check out:

I'm sure Laura will appreciate it very much.
