October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month. 2005 Celebrates 20 years!
For most of you who know, my mother is a recent breast cancer survivor. She was diagnosed of breast cancer late of 2003. It was a tough time for me and my family, but we survived it, and so did she. She has gone through lots Chemo therapy and many many many surgeries the past couple years. Over the past summer was her last surgery and she is currently up in san fransisco studying Culinary arts/ Hotel Management and hospitality. She's once again healthy and alive today. She proudly wears pink and her "cancer survivor" bracelet that I have bought for her.
Thank you to those who have supported my family and me the past couple years. We appreciate it so much!
2005 marks more than 20 years that National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) has educated women about early breast cancer detection, diagnosis and treatment. This year, NBCAM is again reaching out to women with several key messages, most notably, the importance of early detection through annual mammography screening for women over 40. Mammography screenings are a woman's best chance for detecting breast cancer early. When coupled with new treatment options, mammography screenings can significantly improve a woman's chances of survival.
