October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Most of us have been affected by breast cancer in some way...ourselves, a family member, a friend, or just a scare from finding "a lump." Praise God, as far as I know I have no family members who have been affected by it, however I do have a couple of friends who have dealt with it. I, myself, recently had a scare after I found "a lump." Thankfully I have a doctor who is very thorough. He wanted to cover all the bases and give me comfort in whatever answer we came out with. I had my first mammogram (I know...I should have had one several years ago, but now I have done it!), I had three breast ultrasounds, and a biopsy of the lump. All were negative...PRAISE GOD!!
My friend Brynna at Joy Filled Frugality is hosting "A Month of Pink Ribbons" and is sharing stories, contests, and great information regarding breast cancer. Right now she has a great giveaway for the The Love, Life Hope Scentsy Warmer. Check out her giveaway here! This is a subject that is near and dear to her heart and she wants to make sure others have the information they need to deal with the disease itself or to help a family member dealing with it. Check out her sight!! (And by the way, she offers TONS of other great information not pertaining to breast cancer also!!)
Keep yourself healthy, get your checkups and yearly mammograms...
These are my reason to do it...what's yours?
