JUST TO LET EVERYBODY THAT DOESN'T KNOW IT, THAT OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH! EVERYBODY PLEASE GET OUT AND GET A MAMMOGRAM DONE!

Yep...aren't they just a hoot, though?!? I already got it done this summer...along with the annual PAP!

Yes this the month I generally get it done. I just can't wait.

They really are painful but soooooo very important. My sister-in-law is going through treatments now for breast cancer. Go Ladies!!!!

Prayers to your S-I-L, My sister just finished her Chemo/radiation treatments.

Yes, they are painful but so very important! I have been doing them annually since several years ago. My sister Jerri lost her sister-in-law to Breast Cancer at the age of 32. Leaving behind a teenage daughter and two younger boys. So...get out there and get thos MAMMO'S LADIES!

Gotta take care of the "Girls"! The appointment has been made. Vicki, you're a dear to remind people how important this is.

.....and if you want to "prepare" for it....you can slam them in the fridge door.....or put them under the lid of the toilet...and have someone slam it down on them....

Of course, you can always slam the trunk of your car down on them too.....toughens them up!

LMAO!!!

They are important- My sister passed away three years ago this month with Breast Cancer- She had been in remission for several years prior to her death and her initial mammogram gave us more years with her. My sister always phrased it like " Cancer like a Toothache has to be detected and removed"
Miss her alot

So sorry to hear about your sister, Sharon. My thoughts are with you. My sister in law's mother had breast cancer. Thankfully they caught it early enough and she had a mastectomy. She's been fine ever since. I haven't had a mammo yet. Doctor keeps telling me I'm too young.

So sorry ladies. I do have one every year too.

Thanks for the reminder! I get mine done each year too. I don't like it but if I think about what RIGA said about slamming them in the trunk of my car while having it done, it won't really feel that bad after all!

My doctor told me a cute story about mammograms: Why is getting a mammogram like a tea party? Because that's when they turn your cups into saucers!

too funny.....

I'm really sorry to hear about your sister. My SIL is having both breasts removed after the chemo in Nov. She only has cancer in one breast but the doctor wants to remove them both. I guess this is normal procedures...

You're a hoot! Truthful though!

Gee Sharon, I didn't know that about your sister. I am soooo sorry! Hugs to you. Hope to see you soon. And GET THAT MAMMOGRAM GIRL!

So sorry for your loss Sharon.
As I stated earlier, My Sister just finished her treatments, another reason why eary detection is best.

IN HONOR OF BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH -----
A favor to ask, it only takes a minute.... Thanks.

The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman.
It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on 'donating a mammogram' -- for free (pink window in the middle). This does not cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate a mammogram in exchange for advertising.

Here's the web site! Please pass it along to people you know.
