October is "Breast Cancer Awareness Month" - Be Aware-Be Informed

Early Detection Is Key...
As with any annual event we prepare for, the entire month of October is "Breast Cancer Awareness Month". 
Each year as a birthday gift to myself, I planned for and completed an annual Breast Cancer Mammogram. 
Last year, the results came back with less than favorable results.  The good news is, early detection has made this "Journey" a little less bumpy, and the "light at the end of the tunnel" appears to be very bright.
One year later, Oct. 1st to be exact, today's Diagnostic Mammogram came back with clear results.  One year, Cancer Free on day one of "Breast Cancer Awareness Month"; this is a good sign. 
Family, friends and neighbors, give yourself a gift.  Be  tested, continue to be educated, do self exams, and be Aware...
Do Not allow financial concerns defer your medical decisions; many sources for financial assistance are available.
Need resources, let me know?....Although I never sought membership in the Cancer Survivors Club, I'm priviledged to know many who have traveled before me, and I'm learning from them.
