Howdie all – It’s Melissa, from My Party Passion,
returning again this month to bring you a special post. As I would rather be guest blogging about Halloween and Harvest
parties, I am blogging about the “other” topic that is on our minds for October.
In 2012, it is estimated that there will be over 250,000 cases of breast cancer in women in
the United States alone. It is also
estimated that close to 40,000 of these women will die of breast cancer. In men there will be over 2,000 new cases in
2012 and over 400 of those men diagnosed will die.
I have one word for you today – PREVENTION!
PREVENTION is the KEY!
If you do nothing else this year for YOURSELF, I beg of you to get your annual checkups and mamagrams (check with your doctor to see what tests would be right for you). Self-exams are just as important for early detection.

I give myself a birthday present each year and schedule my
mammogram for my birthday. It’s a day
where I spend to myself. It’s a day when
I can proudly say I think of ME and ME alone.
It’s not selfish – it’s the opposite! I will do everything in my power to see my
children grow up and grow old. I know
that someday my daughters will be alive to see the CURE for this disease. For now, I will educate
them on ways to prevent getting it!
On behalf of Team
Eye Candy – I repeat that word – PREVENTION!
It’s the Key!
It’s the Key!
