I am a living testimony to being a Breast Cancer Winner! Over 12 years ago I was diagnosed with this disease after finding a lump the size of a 50-cent piece in my breast. I had a radical mastectomy and have been doing checkups for years now. First I had the mammogram - but that was painful and difficult with an implant, so I researched and found an alternative that works great for me. It is called Thermal Imaging or Thermography, and it is so easy, you are done within 15 minutes or less. They take a "heat" or "thermal" photo and can see a better picture of what is going on in your breasts. To find out more I have added this link for your reference and education;

Breast Cancer is not to be treated with ignorance or pretend it won't happen to you. My mother did not have Breast Cancer, and I am the only one in my family to have ever had it.

Give yourself and the ones you love the biggest and best gift of all - your life by taking just a few minutes to get an exam. The above link will help you find locations where you can get checked and diagnosed.
