Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women today (after lung cancer) and is the most common cancer among women, excluding non-melanoma skin cancers. According to the American Cancer Society, about 1.3 million women will be diagnosed with breast cancer annually worldwide about 465,000 will die from the disease. Breast cancer death rates have been dropping steadily since 1990, according to the Society, because of earlier detection and better treatments.

DELTA AIR LINES....
My grocery store, like yours, was full of PINK during
OCTOBER, BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH..
but WE CAN'T STOP THERE...we have to be reminded ALL YEAR LONG.....
I absolutely LOVE this.....
every time we see a touch of PINK, we remember our loved ones and friends
that have or have had this deadly disease and we
PRAY A LITTLE HARDER !
I know we ALL appreciate the companies that support the FIGHT FOR THE CURE....
I sure do and I try my very best to purchase PINK over anything else.
Did you know you could buy PINK grocery bags with proceeds going to the
CURE ?
I didn't but.....I sure do now and I am getting some!
Imagine taking them in a grocery store, reminding someone of this dreaded illness and them going home, calling for their long over-due MAMMOGRAM ...all because they saw YOU with your PINK GROCERY BAGS....
THE FOLLOWING are some PINKS that join in the
FIGHT FOR THE CURE....
I don't have breast cancer nor anyone in our family has it. I do have two very good friends that have fought it ......and both have won their fight. Praise be to our Heavenly Father and for all the awareness that is going on now. EARLY DETECTION is crucial ..
It is a cause that I have always felt very strongly about and is always on my mind. I don't have much money to donate......but, I CAN help to make awareness of this disease more available and....SO CAN YOU !
AND......so can fellas like this one ....
don't we love it and don't we appreciate it...
ooo, we sure do !!
DELTA AIR LINES....the more PINK that's out there, the more we are all reminded...
Google this and read all about what a great thing they are doing.....

Just watch for them.....SOMEONE WILL THANK YOU !

Bless you for reminding us how important is to take care of ourselves & spread the word that early detection is the best way to confront this terrible disease. And let all women (and men) who have beat the odds have the blessings of our Lord to never have to face this again & be forever an example of courage & a reminder to us do monthly self-exams and mammograms as recommended by our physicians!
Thank you again for caring & God bless!

GM BJ, What an awesome post you had today. Your right, reminders are every where you look in the month of October, then it just goes away. You did a fantastic job here reminding us all to get an exam. No one in my family has had to deal with breast cancer, but I have many friends that have or do have it. I'll be sure to put the pink ribbon on my side bar.
ReplyDeleteLove Ya,
Chris
BJ,
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! This is a GREAT post!
My grandmother had breast cancer and beat it! PTL! I have had several close friends who have had it... some have won and some died battling to the end. Thanks for sharing this because people need to be aware. I hope some day that this disease will be over for good!

ReplyDeleteLove your PINK messages!
My mother died of breast cancer. There are no words I can think of to express the horror and pain I felt for her in the last weeks of her life. This disease MUST be fought until a cure is found.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, hubby does wear pink! Pink isn't just an attitude with me or a decorating color for my PINKKKKK house, it's a way of life for this chick, honey. Happy pink saturday,
ReplyDeleteSmooches,
Connie
What a service you do to remind us. I do love all the clever ways people have found to spread the word. I totally love those ideas - the soup and the airplane! Wild!
ReplyDeleteMy mammogram is scheduled for 2 weeks from now. Ow, ow! - but it's worth it.
Thanks, BJ - have a great Pink Saturday.

BJ, you come up with the best posts! We've had TOO MANY women in my husband's family effected by breast cancer. I even worry about my husband. It's so scary.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother and great-grandmother both had breast cancer. In April, I had had pre-cancerous cells removed. I have to be very dilligent and get mammograms every 6 months. We must take care of ourselves! Thanks for a wonderful pink post!
ReplyDeleteA perfectly pink inspirational post BJ. I have a good friend who has survived breast cancer. Self exams, mammograms, reminding friends and family...they are all sooo important!
ReplyDeleteBJ,
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful and such an important PINK post! This will hopefully save many lives by just getting that yearly mammogram. I have lost far too many friends and know too many who are suffering right now.
Thank YOU! May Heavenly Father continue to bless you. You truly are a jewel.
♥♥♥
Very sweet Pink post.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Virginia :)

ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday, dear BJ.
Hi BJ, if there were any people out in blogland who did not know of your generous, giving spirit, they will know now. Your "we can do this" attitude is an inspiration. PS I loved your post yesterday, and finding out about how your son installed it for you is sooo sweet. I didn't know the history behind it. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi BJ,
ReplyDeleteI'm always amazed at the pink everywhere and on everything. Target always has pink appliances and baking gadgets and so much more. Valentines day should be a great reminder too. Keep up the Pink Fight!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for this blessed, wonderful post! Although you may not have realized it this is a tribute to those of us who've fought this fight and will for the rest of our lives. You have no idea how much it helps just to know others care and do what they can. You also have no idea how many lives you may have saved today with this post. Thank you is hardly big enough for those including who do their best to keep this hideous illness in the minds and hearts of people.
ReplyDeleteI love you!
Martha
Hi BJ,
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful post. You may have saved someone's life...and not even know it. If one person makes an appointment for a mammogram because all the blogging will be worthwhile.
Hope you have had a wonderful pink Saturday!
BJ - Your post is so very meaningful. I think that each of us knows at least one breast cancer survivor. The women who have survived are special, caring individuals who fight not only for themselves but for each victim of breast cancer. Thanks for fighting the cause.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Sweetie

ReplyDeleteDear BJ...what a wonderful & loving post today...You are the best! I am praying a cure will be found in our lifetimes, but at our ages they had better hurry up! BTW, I love the phrase about when a baby is born...so is a grandmother! I think if I ever get a tattoo, it'll say that...LOL

As the kids at school say "Pink is the new black." They wear a pink ribbon with pride.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder to keep on fighting for a cure.
God bless.
Dear ANONYMOUS,
ReplyDeleteI will add you to my prayer list that you will recover completely from this battle you are fighting.
I know how scared you must feel and I wish I could say or do something to help you feel better. You know without me saying that God loves you and so do I. Prayer is the most powerful gift of all and HE listens to every single word uttered.
xo bj
