Yes that’s right, it is that time of the year again. It is October which means it is breast cancer awareness month.
So rip your shirts off girls and give those tits a darn good feel.
One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. That is a scary statistic.
My grandmother survived breast cancer, her sister didn’t.

Or you can go here to see heaps of other stuff that you can do to raise money and/or awareness.. And don’t forget if you see or feel the slightest change in your boobs at all GO TO THE DOCTOR. You can’t die from embarrassment but breast cancer will kill you if left untreated.

One time I saw a GROUP of older ladies all go in for their mammogram with their purple shirts and red hats together. Then they went to lunch. Good idea, and no one takes the scary vice-grip of death alone.

Would somebody please remind men that they get breast cancer, too? And they should do self exams. Actually, mutual self exams are fun, if you can get through them, which is hard. (Hah!, I said HARD … I’m so bad) Actually, I think it’s more fun for the man, but it is a way to get him interested. More or less.

I had my regular mammogram just last week, but I’ve developed a little arthritis in the neck as well as having very stiff neck and shoulder muscles (RSI) so after the attendant positioning me then lifting my chin and turning my head etc, pulling my shoulders in, my bottom out, I’ve been left with a VERY painful neck and not quite so painful lower back. I’ve used a full large sized tube of voltaren gel and I’m still very uncomfortable. I’ve had some time off work (annual leave) and was hoping the pain would be gone by the time I go back to work next week, but things aren’t looking too good there. I’m not at all sure if I’ll go back in two years for another mammogram.
Thank you for going pink in support of the Breast Cancer Awareness Month! 😀

Yay you for spreading the word! I personally like to employ Mr Hyphen for a good breast exam… in addition to the once monthly I do in the shower.
