Breast Health is more than just Awareness!

Posted on Apr 13, 2009 12:39 PM

I am the Good Health Fairy (GHFairy), the voice of breast health and want to bring hope, inspiration and power to anyone who has been disagnosed with breast cancer, is a survivor or feels strong about breast health. There are so many organizations that promote breast cancer awareness, but with women of all ages hearing those scary words "you have breast cancer":0 , we need to start promoting the actions necessary for prevention of the disease. I am co-founder of Beyond Boobs, a non-profit organization dedicated to saving lives by educating and encouraging women to take responsibility for their own breast health and to provide support for young survivors of breast cancer, nationwide.

Actions needed to stay ahead of the disease:

  • Pay attention to your breasts and to any warning signs they might be sending you.
  • Do monthly breast self-exams.
  • Get regularly scheduled mammograms.
  • NEVER dismiss a concern about your breasts.
  • Do whatever it takes to confirm that you are healthy.
  • Understand your risk factors.

So put yourself first and take care of your breasts as often as you floss your teeth ;)
