October
is
Breast Cancer awareness month
(although
Oct.has come and gone,
this
message is important all year round!)
As a woman
I would like to urge all of you women
to take the time to make an appointment
to have a mammogram this month. Don't think that if breast
cancer
doesn't
run in your family that you can't
get
it because it didn't run in mine either.
Don't
be afraid of being
diagnosed with
breast
cancer..... be afraid
of not finding
out in
time!
Breast
cancer is not a death sentence.....
especially
if it is detected
early.
A
mammogram is not painful....
at
worst only mildly uncomfortable
(losing
a breast is painful!)
Don't
let fear of hearing the words
"breast
cancer"
keep you from getting
an exam.
Instead, let the fear of hearing
"it's
too late" get you there soon!
Please
pass this page on to every woman you know,
and
if you are a woman with a personal web page,
consider
displaying this logo on your site to
promote
breast cancer awareness.
