Cancer Awareness

Just by itself, the word "cancer" evokes a mix of emotions in all of us. Unfortunately, there are probably very few people that have not been touched by this hideous disease. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Everyone is encouraged to have regular breast exams. While it is typically a female disease, men are not immune from breast cancer. It is just as important for men to have check-ups as women.

Just today, my little friend, Chris, lost another friend to Breast cancer - the second in as many months.

This month I am going to highlight the lives of those that are no longer in my life because of cancer - not just breast cancer. These will not be sad memories - they will be snippets of my best memories of that individual.

As part of being 'aware' this month, I hope you, too, can celebrate the memory of those no longer physically with you.

Take care!
