For several years now, the BYU Cougars have humbled themselves to wear pink accents as they played games at least once during the month of October. It has been a great show of support. Now I pay attention to those things more than I ever did before.
I hope these various methods of raising awareness reminds women and the people who love them that they need to get their yearly screenings and not put it off. I've been happy to hear of a niece, a friend and a sister who said they went in for the annual mammogram and that they were thinking of me while they were doing it. I hope my experience will help some woman to have the courage and determination to just get it done. I know mine saved my life because it was detected early and could be treated aggressively. Hooray for breast cancer awareness month!

There is great awareness of breast cancer, and there is much research going on in its detection and cure. Thanks for the post, and for your efforts in raising awareness of this disease.
