Breast Cancer Awareness Month - More Than Pink Ribbons
I will admit that when October began, I got out my fave pink gel bracelet and started wearing it everywhere. I don't wear oodles of pink ribbon stuff, but I choose just a few things and stick to them. Overdoing the Pinkness of October impresses me as a way to dilute the real meaning of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Spot Cancer Frauds And Deal Accordingly
Last week I told you about a gal who lied about having breast cancer so she could get money for free breast implants. It got me so steamed up that I've come up with some ways to spot a cancer faker, and tips on how to deal with them. If you think of other ways to cope with such frauds, let me know!

Know Your Breast Lumps
Good news - 80% of all breast lumps are not cancer! They might hurt, they might cause panic, and you might not want them, but they are mostly benign. You need to know the good from the bad, and get any lump checked out if you're uncertain or worried.
