October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month


At the risk of sounding like a broken record to you...let me remind you again to please do regular breast exams and get yearly mammograms if you are forty or older. This month is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and so I want to encourage you to pass the word on to everyone you know. One in eight people will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. It is definitely more prevalent for those with a family history or who might not take good care of their health. But if I've learned one thing from Cara's experience, it's that cancer doesn't discriminate. She has no family history, eats healthy, exercises daily, and she was young... all the opposite of those at high risk. If it can happen to her, it can happen to anyone...you aren't exempt!


So take care of yourself...and save the boobies!
