Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) there is a deluge of everything breast cancer. Personally, I find the breast cancer awareness toilet tissue a bit excessive. I mean, if toilet tissue is going to raise cancer awareness, shouldn't it be for colon cancer? Just a thought. Anyways, there's a lot of merchandise out there. If you decide to do some purchasing, please do your homework to ensure your hard-earned money is being used appropriately.
However, one great thing about BCAM is the stories that run in the national magazines. I have received two in particular that are quite moving in their own ways.
The first is a photo essay about one women's journey with BC, particularly with her mastectomies and reconstruction. If any of you have ever wondered what that was really like, this essay will give you some good insights.
Secondly, if you'd like to bear all for breast cancer, consider contributing a photograph to the 4th Annual Blogger Boobie-Thon. Everyone can participate, even the fellas (see below).
Thanks to Melinda and Matt for the links!
Enjoy BCAM and check your girls, girls!
