Breast Cancer Awareness

Since this is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I wanted to take the time to blog about it and how important it is to me. Right around Christmas of last year, my grandma was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. My grandma has lived with my family since I was born and we are incredibly close. Luckily, she didn't have to undergo any serious treatment. She is currently taking medication and getting much better!

However, this isn't a blog just about my grandma. I never thought something so serious would hit close to home. I think this month is a great time to think of breast cancer awareness, but I think it's really important for people to think about it all year around. It can happen to anyone, cancer doesn't discriminate. As a young female, I think being aware of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, or any other prominent feminine sickness is important to be aware of. Educate yourselves! And that goes for men too. There are a lot of things people are unaware of that can have a large impact on their life at some point. So continue to get your yearly check-ups! It's very important. And don't forget to wear pink this month. :]
