October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For my share, I changed the color of my blog to pink. It's not a lot but it's my own little way of raising awareness to this dreaded disease.
I know a lot of activities are lined up for this month in our area, like the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure and a whole lot more. A whole month dedicated to raise funds to find a cure for breast cancer, raise awareness and encourage women to get a mammogram. I'm actually contemplating of joining the run on Sunday.
So please check your boobies. Check them while taking a shower or lying on the bed. When in doubt, go to your doctor immediately and have your boobies checked. Get a mammogram. It can detect a tumor the size of an apple seed. Yes they can be painful but nothing beats the peace of mind you will get knowing that you do not have a tumor in your breasts. Early detection is crucial. So please ladies, get a mammo as soon as you can.
