October Is...

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

If you haven't already done so recently, schedule your mammogram as soon as possible. It's a small preventative step that could save your life.

While you're at it, schedule a skin check with your dermatologist.

Then perhaps you could use a check-up at your gynecologist?

I took care of all my appointments last month and I'm proud to report that the following all came out clear.
I had a mammogram, a pap smear, an endometriosis biopsy, an ultrasound of uterus and ovaries, and various blood tests.

Thankfully I chose to see the dermatologist earlier this year and was able to have some pre-cancerous skin removed, but it's been 3-months and I'm due for a repeat check this month.

Don't procrastinate, be proactive.

Perhaps you could make a donation to Breast Cancer Research?
