		<title>Cyndy&#8217;s Family&#8217;s Breast Cancer Story</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was about 10 years old, my paternal grandmother became very ill.  Unsure what was wrong, the doctors performed an exploratory surgery.  They discovered cancer.  In fact, she was riddled with cancer.  The official diagnosis was liver cancer, but they didn&#8217;t know where it had originated.  She was too [...]]]></description>

		<title>Survivor: Her Best Title</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It happened before I was born.
The breast cancer diagnosis, that is.   She was in her late 40s, taking a shower and found a lump in her breast.   This was a time when breast cancer survival was far lower than it is today.   A mastectomy was a radical procedure, but her doctor&#8217;s convinced her it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spreading the Knowledge: Tara&#8217;s Story</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By my fourth walk through, I felt like I had what I needed.  I took my basket to the cashier and began taking out each item, obviously keeping to a central color scheme.
&#8220;You&#8217;re in a pink mood today,&#8221; the cashier said, taking over the task of emptying my basket.

		<title>But, I&#8217;m Only 26,  Katie&#8217;s Story</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m only 26.
I’ve always felt foolish doing monthly exams of my boobs (sorry, I can’t call these breasts. That makes them sound far more substantial than they are).   When I first really got into the habit, I was 23, and statistics and family history were on my side.  I had no reason to [...]]]></description>

Smashogram, that&#8217;s what my mom always called mammograms.   She&#8217;d pretty much convinced me they were some type of horrible medieval torture.   Then this past spring I had my first one.
