October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Most people have, unfortunately, known someone either affected by breast cancer or some other form of cancer. Breast self exams and regular exams by your doctor are extremely important. I use to think I was doing the self exams the right way but then my doctor found an unusual spot. Thank goodness at my next visit it was not there, but it was enough to make me take notice of the proper way to do a self exam.

Here is a way to help fund breast cancer research. If you eat yogurt, look for the pink lids on Yoplait and save them. Each lid is a donation from Yoplait of 10 cents to breast cancer research.

As we find more ways to raise money for breast cancer research we will pass it on.
