I know I’ve been gone for a minute. They say there is always a means to madness. What madness? I’ve taken some time off blogging. That’s just craziness hah?! Well, I’ll fill you all in at a later date.
So on with the bloggersation. Though it has been deemed that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it’s never too late to make such an announcement close to the end of the month. Spreading this awareness provides hope, enlightenment and a life changing experience for many who are diagnosed, along with their loved ones and supporters. So listen up to some facts & statistics that you need to know.
Did you know?
- New Cases per year: 22,700
- Deaths per year: 5, 400
What to look for?
- Lump in breast or armpit, changes in skin temperature, redness or swelling, inverted nipple, changes in breast size shape, crusting or scaling of nipple.
What are the risks?
- Family history of breast cancer, early menstruation etc…
The beauty industry has supported breast cancer awareness tremendously through the “Think Pink Product line” to support Rethink Breast Cancer. Here are a few ways that you can support this cause.

It’s never too late to be educated -Rethink it!
addition:
cancer treatment with natural medicine is not inferior to medical treatment. people in Indonesia use the herbs for the cancer treatment, because the herbs are safer than medical treatment from side effects and the cost is not too expensive. they use plant as “rodent tuber”, “crown god tea” mixed with green tea and tea parasite. this is for people who are afraid of chemotherapy. I hope this info is useful for all.

You are right, it is never too late to learn how to do a self examination. Thanks so much for sharing this info, I had no idea that a change in your skin temp could be a sign nor did I know you were at a higher risk if you started your menstruation early. Great info, I certainly learned a thing or two!
