Thanks Ellen,
You are loved and blessed.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer Oct 12 2006, I under went chemo then had my left breast removed in March, had more chemo, then had the right breast removed in August. Awareness and sharing is the only way ALL women and men will become aware of how epidemic breast cancer is.
I am a fighter and plan to live to be 100, I plan to share my story with every woman I meet. Keep up the great work.

I am hoping to encourage Theresa Green to get her necessary physical examines. I, too, was afraid when I found out I had oral cancer. I lost part of my tongue, half of my lower gum and all but 3 of my lower teeth. God does answer prayers and He will give you strength and a peace beyond all understanding. We cannot go through illnesses and difficult times alone. I'm a 4 1/2 year survivor and early detection is very important.

Hi Ellen,

I been watching you ever since the Ellen Show(these friends of mine)I watch you every day and you make me laugh and feel good, Thank you for what you are doing for breast cancer my mother and good friend are both survivers and I had a grandmother who died of brest cancer,And I give the the Komen foundation every Mothers Day at the Pittsburgh PA walk for the cure, but the bad thing is I have seen what the went through for treatment and I don't think I could handle it because I have this fear of needles and pain I won't even get a flu shot,I am so afraid to even go get checked can you give me some advise on how to over come this fear.

Your biggest fan
Love You
Theresa

Hi Ellen: I just would like to say what a fine young man Hunter Stewart is and I would like to commend him for the effort he has put forth to raise money for finding a cure. I have 8 sisters. We have lost my oldest sister (2years ago) to cancer and my third oldest sister was diagnosed with cancer this summer. Neither had breast cancer but it still has the same heart rendering effects on them and the people around them. Your goal of $1 million is a challenge but I know you will attain it. I watch you every day and you WILL succeed. Thank you for giving of yourself so the cure can be found.
In memory of Elaine
Your friend Sue

Hi Ellen........I saw the beginning of your show when you were talking about breast cancer. Like many other people that speak about this horrible disease, you never mention that 1 case in 100 is a man. This December 14th, I will celebrate my 8th anniversary since I had a mastectomy on my left breast. I had a 2.2 centimeter tumor under my left nipple. It was discovered when I went to a urologist for a urological check-up. I went through a mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiation and was put on tamoxifen.
Since this experience, I made up my mind to enlighten people about the possibility of men getting breast cancer. I also do quite a bit of public speaking about breast cancer to men's, women's and mixed groups. You would be surprised at the number of people that never had a clue about men getting this disease. I have been the MC at a number of events in the Baltimore area for about the past 6 1/2 years for the American Cancer Society. This, believe me, is such a labor of love. I speak with a lot of humor and get people laughing, including patients and people going through their treatments.
I guess what I am asking you, Ellen, is please make people aware that it is not only a womens disease. You could be saving the lives of men if you can get them to check themselves.
Thank you,
Ken

I went to your ONLINE store to buy something for me and for the breast cancer thing and I was very disappointed. I am a plus sized woman and I know many plus sized men and women who would love something from your store however you do not have anything larger than a 2x. I like a larger shirt than I normally wear. Do you think there will ever be anything larger than a 2x in your store or even with the breast cancer stuff? Just because I am larger does not mean I don't care about breast cancer or want to support your wonderful show. Thanks for your help.
