Breast Cancer Awareness

I am still scared of the time when I thought I had it here, here and here. 

The doctor said I should come and visit her after six month and if there is nothing wrong, then no need for more visits. Sadly, I didn't go until now, making it almost another 6 months :(

Anyway, here is more about Breast Cancer Awareness which falls in this month : October.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) (also referred to in America as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM)) is an annual international health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities every October to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure. The campaign also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer.

As well as providing a platform for breast cancer charities to raise awareness of their work and of the disease, BCAM is also a prime opportunity to remind women to be breast aware for earlier detection. (Source)

During Breast Cancer Awareness Month each October, people raise money by organizing activities such as theme parties or a "pink day" (when employees wear pink clothing or accessories) at work. The money raised is donated to the organizers' choice of breast cancer care or research programs.(Source)
