The month of October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. In case you forgot , it’s time to schedule your Mammogram and get checked. If Breast Cancer is detected early, the survival rate with treatment is a very high 98%. So please take the time to schedule your exam. I am doing this myself this month. It’s not pleasant and certainly nothing we look forward to, but it is necessary. For the month of Oct. 2014 some fashion retailers and are donating proceeds from Pink items to Breast Cancer research or their own charities.
