Save The Ta-Tas

Pay attention; this is very important! This is Breast Cancer Awareness Month - or as I like to call it: Pinktober. 1 out of 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. Do you know eight women? Of course you do. Will it be your mother, your sister, your daughter, your friend, your neighbor, your co-worker, or even you or me? Chances are that you already know someone who has either fought the fight and lost, fought the fight and won, or is currently engaged in the battle.
Make no mistake about it, this is indeed a battle. But there is good news. Most women who detect this enemy early will survive the fight. So, the best thing you can do is be vigilant. Conduct your self-exams monthly. If you are over 40, get those mammograms regularly. No excuses! If it has been more than a year since you have had one, call your doctor right away and make the appointment. Many cities even have free screenings this month. Call the other ladies in your life and remind them to get their mammograms also. All of our boobies are different. Yours may be small and perky, or they may be large and lovely. It makes no difference if they are home-grown or man-made; you need to protect them. That is what fabulous women do.
