October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month Each year, thousands of Canadians are touched by breast cancer. It not only impacts the individuals living with the disease, but their families, friends and loved ones as well. At the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, we are working to create a future without breast cancer. With the support of thousands of volunteers, the generosity of donors and over 70 corporate partners, we are funding some of the most-relevant breast cancer research programs in the country.
~The Canadian Cancer Society The Canadian Cancer Society recommends the following guidelines: - Women between the ages of 50 to 69 have a mammogram every two years.
o If you are between the ages of 40 and 49, discuss your risk of breast cancer and the benefits and risks of mammography with your doctor. o If you are 70 or older, talk to your doctor about a screening program for you. - Have a clinical breast examination by a trained health professional at least every two years if you are over the age of 40.
- Get to know your breasts. Talk to your doctors about any changes.

THE CANCER CHANT, I WILL RANT. A poem contributed by a visitor of Healing Cancer Naturally Cancer I did not give you the right, To invade my body and take a bite. This is my body and with all my might, I will prevail with one hell of a fight. To the cancer inside, I will battle and kill. For that is my body's God given will. To my cancer, these words I do send. Your life is short and near the end. (For Lucy & all those fighting cancer) ©J Joens, 10/13/05 Background and Graphics Assembled by ©Lady Raven Graphics.
