Awareness and good self-care are key!!!

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. 1 in 8 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. According to the National Breast Cancer foundation: death rates from breast cancer have been declining since about 1990, in part due to better screening and early detection, increased awareness, and continually improving treatment options. In general, mammography is the most effective screening tool used to find breast cancer in most women. It can find cancers at an early stage, when they are small and the chances of survival are highest.

A cancer diagnosis -- or a diagnosis of any major medical illness -- is a life changing event. Our clinicians are available to help you navigate through your journey, deal with the uncertainty and fear, cope with losses and changes, and, always, to be mindful of the joys and meaning in life. We have many years of experience working with people impacted by cancer and other medical conditions, at every stage of their illness. Don't hesitate to call on us to help.

Yes, this picture agan. I know, I post this year after year, it seems. Somehow I can't find anything that hits me like this one does. I read something -- not my words -- that resonated and that I thought just belonged with this picture. This is an edited exerpt from a little blog by Fia Skye of Flying Edna: "There are these designated days when a group of someones at some point in time decided we all should celebrate "moms" and "dads" on one specific date - but I think it's a silly idea. Because I find that I remember their love, their sacrifices, their frustrations, failures, triumphs, and willingness at the oddest moments. Not always on birthdays or anniversaries, on calendar holidays or when someone tells me I ought to. It's the little moments on random days..... when I glance out the window and see a parent grimacing and running with one hand on the back of the bike seat and a wild haired child with her hands on the handle bars, pedaling furiously smiling into the wind... I think of all the many ways we come to learn this or that, and I realize there is no reason to wait to celebrate the people that taught me something worth remembering." So today and every day, celebrate those people who taught you something worth remembering ♥
