If you don't have money for one, there are many places that offer them low cost and/or free. I believe all insurances cover them. |
Linda, I am very happy you are doing well (other than having to put a fortune into dental work). I am in awe of your personal strength.
Thank you for sharing this very important message. My mother died at the age of 42 from breast cancer. She let life and fear get in the way of taking care of herself. No one should do that.
Linda, I am confident you will never slack in taking care of yourself, but if you do, I hope Cookie is there to tap her paw and give you a disapproving look.
