I apologize in advance for this post being so long, but I wanted to acknowledge those who offered support along the way. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011, I never imagined that I would one day be fighting for a law that would notify people in North Dakota following mammography if they had dense breast tissue. It was a tough challenge, much like my breast cancer battle, but after overcoming a Do Not Pass recommendation from both…..
I am so honored, as a Cando, ND native, to be appearing at the Author’s Day being held at the Towner County Living Center in Cando, ND on Friday, May 15, 2015 from 2-4 pm. My book, “Boundless Blessings and God’s Grace: My Journey through Breast Cancer” will be available for sale that day and I would be happy to sign a book for you. If you have already purchased the book and would like me to sign it, please…..
I am thrilled to let you know that ND HB 1370-Mammography Results Notices Regarding Dense Breast Tissue passed the ND Senate on a vote of 33-13, 1 Not Voting this afternoon and is headed to Gov. Dalrymple’s desk for signature. Because the bill has an emergency clause, when he signs it into law, it becomes effective immediately. I want to thank everyone for their support of this important health-related legislation. I am grateful to all who took time to reach…..
I wanted to share this TV coverage about my testimony to the ND House Human Services Committee, which occurred Wed., Jan. 28th in Bismarck. Many thanks to Chet Miller for driving me to Bismarck and back so I could appear in person at the hearing. Also a sincere thanks to Rep. Pamela Anderson, Rep. Kathy Hawken, Rep. Alisa Mitskog, Rep. Marie Strinden, and Sen. Carolyn C. Nelson for co-sponsoring and introducing ND House Bill No. 1370 – Mammography…..
For those who may not have seen the news coverage about the ND House Human Services Committee hearing on House Bill No. 1370 – Mammography Result Notices, I have provided a link to the KFYR TV coverage out of Bismarck. I would encourage you to reach out to your legislators, the ND House Human Services Committee Members, and co-sponsors of the bill to ask for their support of this bill. It could save lives in our state. Thank…..
The quest continues to do the right thing in terms of notification of breast density to all North Dakotans undergoing a mammogram – to tell them if they have dense breast tissue, so they can find potential breast cancer at its earliest stage. Knowing you have dense breast tissue could save your life, save trauma to your body, and could save millions of healthcare dollars. The cost of additional testing will pale in comparison to treating advanced stage…..
I was so fortunate to be a guest on The Missy Ohe Show recently. For those of you who did not get a chance to listen to the interview earlier, I have placed the link below so you can listen when you get a chance. I am grateful that Missy aired my interview during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is the most in-depth interview I have done following my breast cancer battle. Hopefully it will resonate with those who take some…..
I wanted to take a moment today to share a recap on the All About Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Event at West Acres on October 10th. All of the participants were so thoughtful and brought unique ways to impart information about their organizations. The decorated bra that Bras on Broadway had displayed was absolutely beautiful – thanks to them for bringing it out, having a table, and continuing their event at the end of October to help those facing breast cancer!
