The Komen Foundation exists to promote theocracy and nothing more. They are NOT in the business of curing cancer.

However, I hope this video is not taken down for showing human breasts-or lack of them in this case-because of Google's Puritan standards.

The surgery went okay and we're trying to put ourselves back together today. It's not over but at least, that's something.

when research was really still in it's infancy. But today, with all of the advancement and treatment options, I believe your loved one will not only get well, but will beat this and thrive. Each day I think about my mom, and in those moments from here on, I will now think of you and yours and continue to send out only positive and powerful thoughts for all of you as you support each and "put yourselves back together."

Sending out positive energy and love,
Lou
