October is Breast Cancer Awareness

October  is Breast Cancer Awareness month.  Awareness is very important and can make a difference. It is important that we keep awareness going year round. Please do monthly exams and get your annual mammogram.  Early detection is key. 

 It is very important to be proactive and educated about breast cancer. Monthly self breast exams are critical and could mean the difference between life and death. It is vital that women follow the mammography recommendations. Many women in our community have battled breast cancer and have won. We also have many who we remember for their valiant fight against this disease.  We will continue to support those who are fighting the battle.  Many of us have had scares and realize the importance of early detection. Early detection is the key. Don't wait for a scare to begin the practice of monthly self-exams. It is very easy to perform monthly self-exams and it only takes a few minutes. These few minutes can save your life or the life of someone you love.  

Share the websites below with someone you love. This could be the greatest gift you ever give.
