Pink- October.

October is breast cancer awareness month.

If you read this, tell everyone you know.

I knew it too, I knew what BC was, and how older women were at a higher risk. I knew what symptoms it caused, and I knew that a lump was a definite sign.

I knew.

A part of me will never forgive myself for letting the person I love most in this world, ignore my advice. I could have pushed harder, fought and cried and demanded that she get it checked out. But I didn't.

I forgot. I didn't make it an issue. I breezed through my own life and occasionally asked her to get an appointment, when i found the time to check on her.



What makes it worse is that I only ever wanted her to be happy.


Please don't do what I did.

I'm sure you, just like me, are all aware of BC. That you will probably wiki it in a moment, and will know everything that there is to know. You will file it away for later use.

Don't stop there.

Tell your friends. Tell your sister. Your mum, especially. Aunts and grandmums and cousins.

And push them to do take tests and have breast-self-examinations, every month.
It could save their live, one day.
