Support Breast Cancer Awareness Month (october) and Look Good in Your Pink

Executive Summary about Breast Cancer Awareness Month by Joanna Steele-Perkins

Now pink has become more and more popular with men too and many men look as good as women in pink. There are many events organized this month in aid of Cancer Research and many of them involve people wearing pink, either a pink bra for The Moon Walk or simply a pink ribbon.

Pink is not just pink.

Imagine the brightest fuchsia pink and the palest baby pink! Depending on your hair colour, skin tone and even your eye colour, the shade of pink most suited to you may vary.

Let us start with a soft powdery pink.

Sometimes colours are difficult to imagine and finding the right shade of pink may be challenging, but a colour analysis with a colour consultant will quickly put you on the right track. Wear your pink with pride.

Does Breast Cancer Awareness Saves Lives?

Executive Summary about Breast Cancer Awareness Month by Riley Hendersen

It takes either personal experience, or a special dedication to a vision of a better future for girls and women, in order to make a deep, ongoing commitment to breast cancer awareness.

About 30% of patients are women under 40.

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer among women in the United States, behind lung cancer. The five-year survival rate is 90%. For breast cancer detected early, having not spread to the lymph nodes, the five-year survival rate is 98%. Awareness could help save tens of thousands of lives each year by helping women get diagnosed earlier through regular screening.

The death rate dropped significantly from 1989 to 2003, a decline mostly due to the increasing role of mammography in detecting early-stage tumors, as well as improvements in therapy.

You raise your own awareness when you:

* Talk with doctors, nurses, advocates, and survivors.

* Read books and articles and visit websites.

* Participate in the annual Breast Cancer Awareness Month events in October, as well as year-round awareness events such as those sponsored by Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

* Do monthly self-exams.

* Have regular mammograms starting at age 40.
