Cathy’s Mom is overly modest. Breast (GASP!) Cancer Awareness Month. (My last three exams came back clear, so far, so good)

Wait til LED takes over…

Any talk about awareness is good talk. We definitely move forward the more we know about things. And a heartfelt congratulations to those doing well after treatment!

Hello Cathy friends! Happy Monday! Have a great day, all!

Before Betty Ford, breast cancer was a taboo subject.

I, too, had a pretty darn good idea of the subject of today’s comic right away. Good for Cathy—comic and real-life—for discussing B.C. awareness.

HI, MOM. Hello, Clan.
