Breast Cancer Awareness

Hey you!! Take a minute and read this! This is my version of a "breast cancer awareness" post. 

When you do your monthly exams...do you know what you are feeling for? Because I didn't. Did you know that an easy way to feel a lump is in the shower with soap? I didn't. Did you know that cancer doesn't discriminate? You can be black, white, young, old, male, female, sick or healthy, it doesn't matter because CANCER IS A BULLY!.
So get educated. Do you have a family history of breast, ovarian, colon, prostate or pancreatic cancer? Then find out if you could be carrying a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation. I got tested and it probably saved my life. There's more to this than being "aware". You have to take control. Message me if you want more details about the gene or how to get tested.

If you do find a lump, don't freak out, most are cysts. Just get it checked out by a Dr. or you could wait for your next mammogram....and take your chances! I'm glad I didn't!
