Even though I try to make the titles of my posts insightful or even humourous, today's post is not a humourous subject.
I thank my good friend Cowgirl for this info.
Breast cancer is a very delicate matter, according to the NBCF (National Breast Cancer Foundation) approximately 12.6% of women in the US will develop breast cancer in their lifetimes.
The good thing is that it can be detected early by regular mammary testing. Women can give themselves basic breast checks and they can also have medical checks called Mammograms. A mammogram is a safe, low-dose x-ray picture of the breast. Mammograms are quick and easy. You simply stand in front of an x-ray machine. The person who takes the x-ray places your breast between two plastic plates. The plates press your breast and make it flat. This may be uncomfortable for a few seconds, but it helps to get a clear picure.
Unfortunately not everyone is financially capable of getting mammograms done, therefore The Breast Cancer Site has a button on it where you can click daily so that one free mammogram a day will be given out. This is thanks to their sponsors.
I urge you all to go to this site and click on the button. There is no charge to you whatsoever, and you will be helping someone.
Shouldn't we all try to help?
