October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Hello ladies, just passing along that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! As you all know, 2008 has been a crappy year when talking about breast cancer. It started off with our friend Michele being diagnosed, who after 9 months of treatments has beat cancer. Then in June, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. After having two mastectomies she has beat cancer.

While Michele and my mom had two VERY different types of breast cancer and two VERY different forms of attack both of them are doing so well because of EARLY DETECTION!!! So please ask your doctor when you need to start annual mammograms and learn how to do self-breast exams. 5 minutes a month might just save your life! So keep talking about breast cancer, the more you talk, the more comfortable you'll feel about keep up to date with your breast health.

I couldn't agree more!! Thanks for all your support this year! I am very hopeful that our girls won't have to deal with this.
