Breast Cancer Awareness Month

This month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Like many people, my life has been touched and changed by cancer. Not necessarily breast cancer but other forms that are just as life threatening.

It’s heart wrenching to know that so many women are completely debilitated by this horrific disease every day. It is imperative that women get tested on a regular basis so that this sickness can be caught and treated early.

I’ve had mammograms and they are by no means pleasant but I know that it is essential to female health. The more that we get this information out there the more women may take notice.

Living in the USA, I have been without health insurance at one time. It was a very scary and unpleasant experience. Luckily I am in good health and nothing emergent occurred. However I understand the need to give all women access to testing because this goes a long way to early detection and prevention in some cases.
