Linky Love = Love for each other

Out here in the Blogosphere, we often joke about “linky love” when we link back to a blogfriend’s post, or when we give each other blogosphere awards.  It’s true, seeing someone link back to you makes you feel warm and fuzzy all over.  Today, I am up to my eyeballs in warm fuzzies.  I can’t tell you how good it feels to know that the word is getting out about inflammatory breast cancer!  Hurrah!  Women are hearing about the symptoms, and – more often than not – saying “I didn’t know.  Thanks.”  I’ve even read several comments from women who HAVE one or more of the symptoms and are going to their doctor this week.  AWESOME.  Early detection is critical.

Today, the linky love is going back to you — the ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-THREE of you (so far!) who have posted this post on inflammatory breast cancer or linked back here with a recommendation to read it.  You are wonderful.  You are amazing.  You are saving women’s lives.

Let’s keep it going.  If you’re new to this site and just appeared here via a link from someone else’s post, WELCOME.  Please lift the post about inflammatory breast cancer and post it at your web site.  You reach women I don’t reach.  You know women I don’t know.  You love women who need to know.  You don’t have to have a lump to have breast cancer. 

Just ask any of these women and men, who have posted the post or a link to it out of love for their friends and readers.
