Feel your Boobies ladies


Good Morning and happy October, which btw is my very favorite month of the year. It is such a beautiful month full of all my favorite colors. Speaking of colors, another health speech coming on here, but it is important for all of us to do this THINK PINK! October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I can't even begin to say enough about this. I have the big C scare last October when I went for my annual mammogram. They kept saying that I was lucky I went annually and that if it was Cancer it was early and so much could be done. After one week of agonizing waiting, ultrasounds and biopsies, the final verdict was good. Not Breast Cancer, but something that will be watched closely. I now have 5 little clips in my breast and go every 6 months for mammograms and everything has been good. But it was my annual that they found this. I didn't feel it..they were tiny calcification's. But the Mammogram found it. This is important ladies, I work in the medical field and I see woman of all ages with breast cancer. Some as young as 40. I know I am not telling you anything you don't know, but just wanted to emphasize the importance of this. If you have the time ..go and find your local Walk for the Cure this weekend. It is such a refreshing thing to do.
Have a great weekend
Peace Out
Peggy
