2 years ago my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was a naturally a tough time for the whole family. March of 2007 she was in stage 4 of the disease. The cancer rapidly spread and my grandmother passed away. Had she went to get checked out when she first discovered a lump in her right breast and the bloody discharge, there's a chance she could've still been here today. When my other grandmother was around 25 (in the 70's) she had to get a masectomy due to cancer found in her left breast. Due to these events, I wholeheartedly support breast cancer awareness. I challenge you to "think pink". Change your lifestyle to prevent cancer (and other diseases). Eat more fruits and veggies. Their fiber and antioxidants aid in prevention. Studies show that cuciferous vegetables, such as brocoli, cabbage and cauliflower, kill cancer cells. Exercise. Stop smoking. Get regular checkups every year and do self breast exams often. There are non-profit foundations such as the Susan G. Komen foundation that you can give a donation to in an effort to help find a cure for breast cancer. It's all about awareness and prevention. Be blessed and take care!
