What in the world could I do for the month of October?? I've been pondering the last few weeks and then it hit me like a big rolling pin to the forehead... DUH! October is Breast Cancer Awareness month!
Don't know much about Breast Cancer? Take a moment and click on a few links below. Educate yourselves, get in the know and become aware of this disease. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States aside from skin cancer - but does not just effect women. Men, you can be stricken with this disease as well. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), an estimated 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in the United States this year. Today, there are about 2.5 million breast cancer survivors living in the United States.

If you're worried about developing breast cancer, or if you know someone who has been diagnosed with the disease, one way to deal with your concerns is to get as much information as possible. If you, or someone you know, has been recently diagnosed with Breast Cancer, please know there are resources out there that you can lean on for support and help.
