Some nights I wake from a bad nightmare about a fast approaching storm .  In this dream, many tornadoes are formed from the dark frightening clouds.  Running from the awesome, destructive power of these tornadoes,  I never managed to get away.  The tornadoes hurl me up much like Dorothy in the movie Wizard of Oz. 

Why do I  have these frightening nightmares? Reflecting on my real life, I feel powerless against breast cancer.  Like breast cancer, I feel powerless towards the tornadoes in my dream.  The awesome power of tornadoes is to be respected.  

Knowing what to do when a tornado is sighted is the key that will protect us harm. 

Personal note:  Please do your monthly self breast exams and schedule yearly mammograms.  

Respectfully,

A Breast Cancer Survivor
