Today’s homework

October 26th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Daily Life

There’s more than one kind of breast cancer. Did you know that? During October, we’re so often flooded with “buy pink” campaigns, and reminders to check ourselves for lumps, that it’s become almost commonplace. We all know that we should do regular self exams, and we’ve heard it so often that the urgency often fades into the background of children, spouses, laundry, and work. But did you know that there’s a kind of breast cancer that forms without a tell-tale lump?

Please go over to Toddler Planet today and learn about Inflammatory Breast Cancer, a dangerous breast cancer which has few external signs or symptoms and which spreads fast. And then take the time to read Susan’s blog to see why it’s so important to know about this cancer.

    I’d never heard for this before today so I’m glad I read this. I’ve got better at checking for lumps since breastfeeding but it is so easily forgotten.
    There’s an award for you over at mine x
