2018 Paint the Paper Pink Lincoln Daily News October 2018 Page 69 Memorial Hospital is participating in the October Mammogram Monday’s project. Women who do not have insurance can make an appointment today, to have a free mammogram before the end of the month. To make that appointment call 217-605- 5108. While Kathleen’s story is one of struggle, she reminds everyone that cancer has a unique personality with each person it infects. Because she had these kinds of issues doesn’t mean the next person will. Don’t be afraid to seek help because you hear a bad story or a scary story, because you will write your own story, starting with being proactive and finding out the truth about what is going on in your body. Kathleen is a lovely lady with a big heart for others. She works to help where she can, and be an example of fighting the good fight, even against the odds. She lives her life one day at a time and spends no time wallowing in self-pity. She also doesn’t want pity from others. She simply wants her days to be of value. To quote Abraham Lincoln, “It is not the years in your life that count, but the life in your years.” Thank you Kathleen for sharing your story. Your hope and ours is that your story will show someone else that there is help to be found, and that victory begins when they choose to be proactive. Additionally, we all hope that the work done in cancer research will bring that big cure we all want, and that you will be among the first to benefit from it.
