The photographer and Boobithon.com contributor explains this picture:

I have known so many people in my life who have been affected by cancer.

When I was a senior in high school, a friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer. They amputated his leg, but he died a year after we graduated. My sister-in-law, Jana, lost her father to a long, terrible battle with this disease. This past August, an old friend of mine lost his seven year old daughter to cancer.

My dad had a cousin and his wife, JoAnn, was like a mother to me when I was a kid. She died of breast cancer approximately 20 years ago.

I loved my grandma Una with all my heart. I spent almost everyday with her when I was a child. In August of 1993, she died of breast cancer. It still makes me cry to this day.

My aunt Eva had breast cancer when I was a kid and she had to have a mastectomy. She was a breast cancer survivor though. She lived for another 20+ years before she died of other causes about five years ago.

My very best friend in the world is Kirsten. Her mother, Donna, had breast cancer and a mastectomy in 1998. She was in remission for 10 years but was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2008. She had her bladder removed earlier in 2009 and is currently feeling great.

My friend, Kristine, has gone through breast cancer with her mother, Pat. She had a lumpectomy and approximately eight months of chemo afterward. Pat is currently doing beautifully and has been cancer free for about 3 years.

My friend, Roxanne, has been battling breast cancer with her mother, Susan, since last November. I have never met her mother, but Roxanne is fabulous and one of the strongest people I have ever met. Susan is having a very difficult time and my heart just breaks for my friend and her mom.

I had a lump removed from my breast approximately 3 years ago. After the lumpectomy, they finally determined that it was a non-cancerous, Phyllodes tumor. To this day, I feel very lucky, but all of the waiting was very frightening.

My heart aches for people dealing with this horrible disease.

In Memory of:
Joann M.
(Grandma) Una F.

In honor of:
(aunt) Eva D.
Donna C.
