Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Of course while it is always important to keep up with your breast health, October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month means that now is the time to do so if you've been slacking. We should all be checking daily for lumps and we can do so within minutes even as we shower. None of us have any excuse not to check ourselves for any signs as well as making regular visits to our doctor. So, remember to do so and remind your friends as well. Remember, early detection is always a plus, so take charge of your health.
Very true JanieLynn!
During this important month, make the time to take care of your health. We all lead such busy lives and important priorities such as annual check ups tend to fall by the wayside. Breast Cancer Awareness month is an excellent reminder to make that mammogram appointment. Do it for yourself, do it for your loved ones, and do it for all the women who have lost the fight to this terrible disease.
And once you make that call to your doctor think about other ways you can help stamp out breast cancer for good.
Send a donation to one of the wonderful organizations that are making a difference like the Susan G. Komen Foundation or purchase a product whose proceeds go to breast cancer research--this time of year there are plenty of pink products on the shelves. Look for the Pink Ribbon logo to see if proceeds are being donated.
CIBC Run for the Cure is being held in 60 communities on Sunday, October 3rd this year across Canada.

I also agree wit you Janie.
Early detection helps fight breast cancer, which is why regular mammograms are so important as they’re the most reliable way to catch breast cancer early when it’s most treatable.
There is no single cause of breast cancer, however personal or family history of cancer may put women at risk. Early detection through screening mammography is an important tool to detect breast cancer. Health officials recommend that women aged 50 to 69 years have a breast screening mammogram once every two years.
