Kicking Off Breast Cancer Awareness Month: October 2011

While it's certainly been a while now since we shared anything here on the blog, we simply couldn't imagine a better time to rekindle the blogging flame than during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. With Breast Cancer Awareness Month, or BCAM, happening each October, it truly is one of the most important opportunities we have to promote women's health and wellness, and to help spread awareness around the cause of finding a cure for breast cancer.

This year, we want to take every advantage of the local and national support of BCAM, and through social media outlets, such as this blog and our Facebook page, we aim to reach as many folks as possible throughout the month of October. We'll be posting regular updates here on our blog, so check back often for information you should know about breast cancer, tips for early detection, ways you can get involved in the fight, and so much more. We are also encouraging everyone to Share Your Story over on our Facebook page, so that the entire community there might be educated and so compelled to join in the cause.

We are also encouraging every woman who hasn't yet scheduled her annual checkup this year, to do so as soon as possible. Early detection is the key to battling breast cancer, and you may not always be able to feel when something is wrong, simply by doing a self check. Mammography is highly encouraged to confirm any speculations or warning signs. If you feel you may be at risk - DO NOT HESITATE. Your swift action is no small measure in the fight against breast cancer.

Happy October everyone, and thanks for stopping by! Check back often for updates, and leave your comments and questions anytime. If you have a question regarding a medical issue, please call our office, and we'll be happy to assist you in whatever way we can.

Dr. Royal Benson
