Found this on Google Video tonight; it was in the Top 100. One of the things I like about it is that it is 100% about creating awareness, talking about breast cancer, and knowing your body.
There’s a lot happening this month related to Breast Cancer Awareness. Almost all of it is good, but a lot of that good focuses on what you can buy not what you can learn. Obviously, I like the latter more. And that’s why I am not asking for money. Looking ahead to next year I might, but it will only go to activities that support/offer awareness and learning opportunities.
That means I have a lot of research to do between now and then. It’s easy to find a company to make pink things to sell and earmark money for research, but I am finding it difficult to locate companies or orgainzations that focus solely, or even mostly, on education.
As has been said before, breast cancer is common but it is also relatively easy to detect. Knowing what you are looking for will go a long way to better health.
Thanks for what you’re doing, my grandmother died of breast cancer and one aunt died of it and another survived, and ironically, only this month my mother got a positive diagnosis too… she’s booked for a preventative double mastectomy next week.
Yes, I have regular checks, so do my sisters, and our gene tests are helping others… and yep my blog is Pink for October too.
Every little bit helps.
Thanks again….
