It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month....
Ladies and Gents, just a reminder to do your self-exams and schedule your mammograms if you're over 40! Early detection can truly save your life or keep you in the "limited" fate category.
Speaking from experience as I face my second surgery tomorrow! I'm getting my upper deck construction work done.
I am a lucky lucky person to have noticed a change on my own and went in for a checkup. Got surgerized but I avoided chemo and radiation..... but some of my friends have not been so lucky.
I am not a crazed "Support Finding the Cure" by buying everything pink type of BC survivor
But I do find it VERY important to raise awareness that self-exams and early detection are extremely important.

Thanks, Sumacaroni, for the reminder.
I lost a good friend to breast cancer in the mid-90's, and my sister went through it in the mid-2000's, but has been cancer-free for about 8 years now.DH aka Mad Hen
