National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Remembering my Aunt this month(though she always in my thoughts). She is dearly missed. I could of used her these last few years if for anything to tell me to go for it and to remind me that I am right(even when I am wrong). My Aunt is on the right. Now is the best time Believe it or not, the best time to check for breast cancer is when your breasts feel fine. If you find cancer early, there are more treatment options and a much better chance for survival. Mammography is the best screening method used today to find breast cancer early. However, it is not perfect. But, when mammography is combined with clinical breast exam your chances for finding cancer are even greater. Remember, even if you feel healthy now, just being a woman and getting older puts you at risk for breast cancer. Getting checked regularly can put your mind at ease. And finding cancer early may save your life.

It is hard when you loose one of your greatest cheerleaders. Thank you for the reminder. As my friends says while she too fights breast cancer "SAVE 2nd BASE". That is a great slogan!
