A few months ago, she decided she was going to share a very scary and courageous journey with the blogosphere — her battle with inflammatory breast cancer. Tomorrow she is going to have her double mastectomy and she’s been counting down to the day over at her place for a few weeks now.

Please stop by her blog at her post entitled “Tomorrow” and leave a comment with any well wishes you have or, better yet, write a post at your own blog also entitled “Tomorrow” with a link back to her and let her know that we’re all thinking of her.

We’re keeping you in our thoughts here at Chez PunditMom.

Thanks for the great idea, Momma Loves!

In honor of Toddler Planet, I am happy to cross post this from her blog.

Moms. We love our kids.

We drive ourselves nuts taking care of them and helping them learn and grow. We would do anything for them. Right?

Of course. So do them a favor and take care of yourself.

Do your monthly breast self-exam and report any changes to your OB/GYN. ANY changes.

Even something that seems minor, like redness, soreness, thickening, itchiness, texture changes, dimpling, or a bug bite that just won’t heal. These seemingly minor symptoms are also signs of the baddest breast cancer out there – inflammatory breast cancer – and need to be checked out right away.

So do it for yourself or do it for your kids. But please, do your breast self-exam this month. Even if you’re pregnant. Even if you’re breastfeeding. Even if you think you’re “too young for breast cancer.” It could save your life.

We’re with you Toddler Planet mom.
