October is breast cancer awareness month..just a friendly reminder ladies to self-check.

OCT BREASTCANCERMONTH
Good reminder Joseph...
FYI, there are many opportunities to support the cause out there this month. I will be participating in a "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" walk here in Rockford on OCT. 25th. I will be doing this in memory of my mother who lost her fight with breast cancer back in 97 after a 20 year battle, and in honor of one of my sisters who is now 2 1/2 years breast cancer free. If you'd like more info on the Rockford walk, drop me a message.

PS...hey guys, we need to be aware too. Breast Cancer doesn't discriminate, it's much less common...but men get it too.

You have to stay in shape. My grandmother, she started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She's 97 today and we don't know where the hell she is. :)

Something that also goes along with this is that family ties to breast cancer also means an increased risk for men and prostate cancer and colon cancer. So guys, just because this is breast cancer awareness month doesn't mean you can sit back and relax. If you're over 40 you should seriously consider checking your PSA levels and don't forget about that colonoscopy!

Just lost a friend of mine who have been suffering from cancer for the past year or so. Believe it or not the first sign was in his breast and when they removed it and went on Chemo etc... they found out that it spread to his spine and to the rest of his body. Poor guy he was only in his early 40's. RIP. Bottom line male or female they should always be aware of any changes in their body and take every little thing very seriously. We only have one body and we can't afford to lose. Please any first sign don't prolong and go have it checked by your docs. God bless.
