October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In memory of our beloved Rebecca Lynn Dennison Traxler, who died of breast cancer, please get your mammogram! And remember to do your daily self-exams.
Think this is too private to talk about? Don't! We need to support each other to keep ourselves healthy and alive. Please list when you last had yours. That way, we can all encourage those who haven't posted to get their's done!
To everyone reading this blog entry, beginning Oct. 1, call everyone in the family who has not replied to this blog and remind them to set up an appointment -- because we love them!
Others to consider: Cassandra, Shona, Amanda, Deanna, Michelle, (are they old enough?). Add others as you so feel moved, your in-laws and friends - hey, turn the other cheek and remind even your enemies.
Dennisons, we have a verifiable history of breast cancer -- Becky Traxler and was it Eva? Dennison? Two different generations. Let's prevent a third generation of dying from this disease. Early detection is the key through mammograms and self-examination.
Just do it.
In memory of Becky.

I had my done in August. I also had the ultrasound because I have such dense tissue. Something to check on with your doctor.
Shona has not had one, not old enough yet. They are saying at 35.
