going pink...

october is breast cancer awareness month and i heart faces is flying on board this week with the "PINK" theme...hey, the nfl did it, so we bloggers can too, right!?

in all seriousness, do your self breast exams each month, ladies...and if you are a guy, remind the women you love to, well, do the right thing.

i had a lumpectomy at 26...yep, 26, that i found on my own during a self exam. it quite possibly saved my life...it was precancerous and contained...

do the stinking self breast exams. if you don't know how...go HERE.

A great photo for pink week. I couldn't agree more with your message. I found a lump as well in my 20's upon self-exam. Early detection is so important.
