It's October, breast cancer awareness month...

Take a look at this youtube clip - the pink glove dance - then remember to schedule a mammogram if you are due for one. Early detection can save lives.

Had my first one ever this year. Doctor found a solid fibroid, but didn't think it was/is cancer. We did agree that since we don't know what "normal" is for me that we would check it again in 6 months to see if anything changes.

save the ta-tas!

Just had my second one a few weeks ago at age 39...started a bit early since I was previously diagnosed with (another type of) cancer.

Had mine in August. My Birthday month. Get 'er done. It really should not be painful. If so, tell the Tech. May be a tad bit uncomfortable but really no pain. Worth it!!!!!
