I didn't know that october was Breast Cancer Awareness Month until I saw your post. Unfotunately, I didn't get a post up until it was too late to be part of the official month, but I am glad I posted on this subject which has been a large part of my life for the past few years.

Thanks for the mention on your blog. This only showed up in my Google alerts today or I'd have commented earlier.

Yes. I've blogged a great deal for Breast Cancer Awareness month. On September 26, I found a large lump. On October 6th, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. In the words of Alanis Morrisette, isn't it ironic?

Great Info

Great Info, that is the point - raise awareness!

It is so easy to be aware when it comes at us from every angle and in every store, but the patients and survivors of breast cancer need us to work every day to find a cure. Those of us who have not been faced with a diagnosis must be diligent about self-exams and healthy living. Thanks for this post reminding everyone that awareness must be a year-round condition!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

LilSis — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 11:10:46 -0500

Hi Catherine,

I just joined BlogHer and was happy to find your post discussing Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I am captain of a team for the San Diego Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on November 2, 2008. I have diligently been raising funds for this disease for a couple of months now. I would love for everyone to visit our blog and read the posts that we've done regarding Breast Cancer Awareness.

I'd Like to Help

Alissa-Taylor Gifts — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 08:22:16 -0500

Like you, I also have a family history of breast cancer, which is just one reason why I support the fight against breast cancer. Personally, I buy the products in October which the money goes to help find a cure, and I participate in at least one fundraising event (it is Strike for the Cure this year...yep, I am bowling). With my job I was happy to discover I was able to come up with a campaign for my company to donate a percentage of sales using this link, Taylor Gifts Breast Cancer Awareness, to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. I plan on blogging at least one more time on our company blog, and I will certainly link to your post from today. Thank you!

If you have breasts

Candelaria Silva — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 07:25:43 -0500

If you have breasts you are liable to get breast cancer. That is my strong opinion. Why do I feel this way? I feel this way because over my life the women I know, Black and White and Latino, who have survived the disease or died from it, had nothing in common but that they had breasts. It didn't matter if they had nursed, if they were slim or fat, or anything else that I could see.

Recently one of my daughter's friends was diagnosed.

So, I am vigilant about mammograms and always hold my breath when I haver them because I had fibroids removed when I was 17 and 18. I also self-exam, but I have basically concluded that what causes breast and most other cancers are not a matter of lifestyle but a matter of the environment.

And so I am living as well as I can while I am alive and getting appropriate check-ups but...

Good and plenty!

It is easy to support

I'm in San Fran this week and even noticed that the Chevron gas stations have coffee with a donation going to Breast Cancer Awareness.

There are so many blogs out there doing a great job of posting and generating awareness. Way to go ladies!

Breast Cancer Awareness Products

First of all: LOVE the mixer. So cute! There are some other great products you can buy with proceeds going towards breast cancer research and awareness, and you can check out the article about them here:

Usually, yes

Mir Kamin — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 17:54:44 -0500

I believe that most (all?) health insurance covers mammograms which fall within the current guidelines (meaning, definitely once yearly for ages 50+, probably once every two years or so for 40 - 50). Then if one is needed for a younger woman, the doctor has to "prove" to the insurance why it's warranted, to get coverage. Of course.

All of mine have been covered. A quick Google search suggests the cost is between $50 - $150, which actually sounds pretty low, to me.
