I've Gone Pink!

Thanks to Reb, who told me about going pink for the month of October, in honor of breast cancer month, I've decided to follow suit and do the same. I guess we've all been touched by someone in our lives who has suffered this terrible illness, and we all wish we could have spared them the pain, suffering, and fear that they faced. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. ONE in EIGHT.
I'm not a research scientist, and I am no chemist, so working with what I can, the only thing left for me to do to help fight this killer of women is to promote education and treatment. I firmly believe that well informed people make much better decisions and are less susceptible to physical ailments and are more apt to seek medical treatment sooner than those who are inadequately informed. When breast cancer is found early, the 5-year survival rate is 98%. That's huge!

The National Breast Cancer Foundation has a great tool for helping you set up an early detection plan.

Here's an interesting Podcast on the subject of how politics affect cancer.

And here's some info. on breast cancer screening and genetic screening.

I hope you'll check it out, and possibly consider going PINK this month too!
