I posted this last year but it still rings true so...
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I have intimate knowledge of this disease, it's no joke. BougieMom is a two-time breast cancer survivor for over fifteen years. Early detection, aggressive cutting-edge treatment and diligent follow-up aided in her recovery and survival. Basically, she kicked cancer's ass and said, "NOW who wants some?!" We send up multiple prayers for her continued good health.

If you are able, please donate directly to the Susan G. Komen Foundation or the Pink Ribbon store (icon on the right sidebar). Close to 200,000 women a year are diagnosed with breast cancer. That is one out of every eight women in this country!
Take a moment this month to raise your glass up not only for survivors like my brilliant mother but also for the unfortunate 40,000 women a year who die from this insidious disease. Raise 'em up for the Cure, ya'll.

Self examination is the most preventive medicine for breast cancer. If you have any doubts, ask your gfs, your S/O (who I'm sure will not hesitate to ahem..."assist you"), ya mama nem, etc.
Excellent reminder - get tested and do examinations early and often!
**raising my pink ribbon martini glass for the cure** My grandmother had breast cancer and it's a cause I support all year long. But in October, it's all pink everything!
