Almost Over

By
Real Estate Agent with Exit 1 Stop Realty

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is almost over... don't forget those mammograms, ladies. Men need to be vigilant as well. Remember, although we tend to think of breast cancer as a female disease, men can get it, too! The mammogram has come a long way from the days they rolled huge pain producing spheres over the breasts. If you haven't had the test lately, don't let old fears keep you away. It's really not uncomfortable, and early detection can save more than just your breast, it can save your LIFE!

"I listen for a living." It's all about you.

One thing to also remember is to be checked to see if you are carrying the gene that can predict breast cancer. This is a much less invasive procedure than the mamogram and more accurate. Thanks for the reminder.  My mom was a 30 years survivor of breast cancer.

Margo, Thanks for the reminder to go get a mammogram.  That one trip to the Doctor can save a life.

Margo - I got a pink waist bag at Publix and will be using it while in DC this week to show support!
