What this is all about?
Well, it’s a very important reminder to ‘check yo’self befo you wreck yo’self.’
No, all kidding aside.
October has come and gone and breast cancer awareness month…is just that. ONE month long…But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep aware for the rest of your life.
The blog colors may change, the seasons come and go but the sentiment is the same. Every day. Women are getting diagnosed with breast cancer.
It can happen to you, me, your mom, your sister…but early detection is part of the fight.
So, I have joined a few other ladies including Slacker-Mommy and Mert to remind myself and YOU, (yes you…even the boys can join) to check our boobahs every month.
The 15th is a good a day as any…Although you should check yourself a week after the start of your period because your breast tissue is easier to ‘feel through’. (They are less tender and less swollen.)
If you are a boy, remind a woman you care about…or do it for her. Puhlease, you think I haven’t made my very own husband check for me when I was too panicked to do it myself? Yes, ma’mmy…he’s done it. And he’s liked it too thankyouverymuch.
So do it. Today, the 15th…every month.
I’ll remind you too!
With a few Haiku:
Boobies! Oh, boobies!
Why must you be so tender?
Cystic and naughty.
Check those boobies now!
The 15 th of every month
No better time, huh?
Pink for October
Is a friendly reminder
All year is good too.
But you can’t forget
Because I’ll be up your ass
Check those knobs again!
The pink may be gone
The sentiment is the same
The thought always there
Do it every month
Get frisky with those sistahs
They’ll thank you after
Make a game of it
Have your husband help you out
Frisking can be fun!
