Save the tatas

We all know a warrior fighting and working through breast cancer. It is something that we need to work toward early detection from a young age. Talking with friends and family and new friends I have learned a few things that I want to share.

Early detection is best. This does not always come in the form of self exam. We cannot always feel for a lump. If you have an uncomfortable feeling lets start with talking to your doctor, make sure you are an advocate for yourself and reach out to a friend as well. For many of us breast cancer runs in our family. This means that sometimes we can get genetic testing done and insurance will pay for it. If you cannot get it paid for talk to your doctor and local charities because there can sometimes be money available to help pay for it.

Helping yearly and in October with raising awareness and raising money to help with research is so important. There are so many local and national organizations that have great resources and are so happy to talk with you and go over the different steps.

Please start your advocacy today, check yourself tonight. Talk to your family and friends. Run a race and raise money. This is not something to put off until next year.
