“October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month” October 9, 2008

"Feel Those Boobies"

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so think pink and support awareness by sporting a pink ribbon. This year it’s estimated a whopping 21,400 women will develop breast cancer, and 5,300 women will lose their battle against it.

Best defense? The pink ribbon campaign promotes prevention and early detection, more research, supporting women and families living with breast cancer, and educating women to “feel their boobies” to stem breast cancer.

So, what’re waiting for? Feel your boobies!

Breast Cancer Awareness is consider one of the preventive measures towards such a disease. Hence, it is deemed necessary to educate loved ones and friends to do an early mammogram or thermogram.

This month October marks the breast cancer awareness month, we should take this opportunity to educate people and improve awareness to breast cancer as this can help to detect it early or even prevent it.

Breast Cancer Symptoms

Breast cancers in their early stages are usually painless. Often the first symptom is the discovery of a hard lump. Fifty percent of such masses are found in the upper outer quarter of the breast. The lump may make the affected breast appear elevated or asymmetric. The nipple may be retracted or scaly. Sometimes the skin of the breast is dimpled like the skin of an orange. In some cases there is a bloody or clear discharge from the nipple. Many cancers, however, produce no symptoms and cannot be felt on examination. They can be detected only with a mammogram.

Welcome to Boomer’s Gap WeBlog!

Like most baby boomers, I am concerned with AGING GRACEFULLY, KEEPING COOL, and STAYING HEALTHY. Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered who that person is looking back at you? The way you feel on the inside doesn’t match what you look like on the outside. I found the following article that I felt was very helpful in determining what to expect regarding symptoms of menopause.

There is a long list of symptoms associated with the menopause. They are symptoms of hormonal change and fluctuation. Some women experience many of them, others just a few, and the luckiest ones none at all. On average women reach the menopause at age 51. That’s when you haven’t had any periods for 12 consecutive months.Although the word menopause theoretically refers to the time when a woman stops having periods altogether, it is often used to describe the years leading up to the final change. Nowadays this period is also known as the perimenopause. According to many studies it can last anything between a few months and fifteen years.The perimenopause is not a disease. It is a natural stage that every woman experiences differently. Knowing about the possible symptoms will help you prepare for it.
