Think Pink -Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Journal Entry: Sat Oct 7, 2006, 10:09 PM




I saw The Departed tonight and I give it :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:!
Even though it is really like the original Infernal Affairs a HK Film made in 2002. I still thought Leonardo DiCaprio was briliant, he really deserves an Acadamy Award for his outstanding performance! Really one of the best movies in 2006 that I have seen and I have seen almost all the movies that have came out! Crazy I know but I'm a huge movie buff!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

October is Breast Cancer Awareness. I myself have been effected with breast cancer throughout my family. My girlfriends aunt passed away last October after a year long battle and one of my best friends survived it as well so I would like to spread the word about breast cancer.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For more than 20 years, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) has educated women about early breast cancer detection, diagnosis and treatment. NBCAM continues reaching out to women with several key messages, most notably, the importance of early detection through annual mammography screening for women over 40, or earlier for women at increased risk.

Mammography screenings are a woman's best chance for detecting breast cancer early. When coupled with new treatment options, mammography screenings can significantly improve a woman's chances of survival. We are pleased that our efforts have contributed to more women than ever participating in mammography screening. Independent reports indicate that this has been instrumental in the increase in the survival rate for women with breast cancer.

National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women and the second leading cause of cancer death (exceeded by lung cancer in 1985). Breast cancer is three times more common than all gynecologic malignancies put together. The incidence of breast cancer has been increasing steadily from an incidence of 1:20 in 1960 to 1:7 women today.


So I am going to dedicating my journal for the entire month of October with images and poetry to support breast cancer awareness and as a memorial for those who lost the fight or are still fighting it. I would also like it if someone could do a CSS journal that was pink and showed that it was breast cancer awareness month.

Thank You

I don't think we've had any breast cancer cases in my family... I'm most definitly going to have to ask around though.
Your journal actually informed me of a lot, so thank you. And also for posting the pictures.. I never knew how extreme it was (I'm kinda stupid for not realizing that, I guess.)

Horribly intrusive watermarks are tacky. If you're concerned about people stealing your photos, don't post them on the internet.

Photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event. (HCB)
