THIS IS A WONDERFUL LITTLE HAT. IT HAS BEEN LOOM KNITTED AND IS READY TO ADORN THAT SPECIAL LITTLE GIRLS HEAD. THE HAT MEASURES APROX. 9 INCHES FROM TOP TO THE BRIM UNFOLDED AND 14 INCHES AROUND. THESE HATS NOT ONLY LOOK DARLING ON THEY ARE ALSO VERY WARM. GOES GREAT WITH THE CHOCOLATE COLORS FOR THIS FALL AND WINTER SEASON. PLEASE VISIT US AT OUR ETSY.COM STORE (GRANNYSLOOM) FOR MORE GREAT ITEMS. HAVE A WONDERFUL AND BLESSED DAY!
TWO YEARS AGO I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO HAVE A BIOPSY DONE ON MY LEFT BREAST. I WAS SCARED TO DEATH AS MY MOTHER HAD ALSO HAD THE SAME CALSIFICATIONS IN HER BREAST QUITE A FEW YEARS AGO. WHEN I VISITED MY DOCTOR AFTER THE BIOPSY TO GET THE RESULTS I WAS TOLD THAT MY CELLS WERE 1MM FROM BEING CANCER AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BE WATCHED EVERY SIX MONTHS. I DO NOT HAVE ANY INSURANCE SO YOU CAN PROBABLY GUESS THAT I DO NOT GO EVERY 6 MONTHS FOR THE MAMOGRAM. I DO FEAR THAT I WILL GET BREAST CANCER. HERE WHERE I LIVE IN NORTHERN MICHIGAN THERE ARE NO PROGRAMS FOR HELP. AT LEAST I COULD NOT FIND ANY. THE ONE PLACE I DID GET A MAYBE FROM WAS THE HEALTH DEPT AND THEY PUT ME ON A WAITING LIST BEHIND 7 OTHERS. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I COULD NOT HAVE CANCER OR I WOULD NOT QUALIFY FOR THE PROGRAM. TO BE ON IT YOU HAVE TO GO FOR SCREENING AND THEN BE TOLD YOU HAVE CANCER. I HAVE BEEN ON THAT LIST FOR GOING ON 3 YEARS IN JANURARY!! ALTHOUGH MY STORY SOUNDS KIND OF ANGRY...I STILL DO BELIEVE THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE RESEARCH TO FIND A CURE FOR BREAST CANCER. I HOPE AND PRAY I NEVER HAVE TO BE CURED OF THIS TERRIBLE AND LIFE THREATENING DISEASE. GOD BLESS ALL THOSE WHO ARE FACING WHAT I AM AND ALSO TO THOSE THAT HAVE THE DISEASE...YOU ARE ALL IN MY PRAYERS FOR A FULL RECOVERY!!
