Good Morning, Quilters!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.
Statistics show that 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime…that means that 1250 of The Inbox Jaunt’s 10,000 followers will face breast cancer!

Such a bad disease but conquered with early detection. I was a mammography technologist for many years.

Do whatever you need to stay healthy. I just lost my wonderful husband to colon cancer 29 days ago.

Pink IS pretty! (and cancer SUCKS)

Many friends have had breast cancer. Most are living happy lives today because it was detected early through screening.

My mom passed away from Breast Cancer in 1978 at only 46 years of age. I miss her everyday and she was very “pretty in pink”.

Had a scare myself two years ago. It’s time for this disease to be eradicated. Pink is my favorite color! And yes, 1 in 8 is too scared to think about! Pretty in Pink please!

I wish we could cure breast cancer -and all cancers.
FYI not all of your followers are women.

I’m a 19-year survivor! Trust your instincts, and don’t let your doctor tell you, “Oh, don’t worry about that little cyst, its nothing.” In my case it was something. And, this is a big one – if your oncologist is a Gloomy Gus with nothing positive to offer you, drop him like a hot potato and find yourself an optimistic doctor who is open to all options for therapy and recovery. It’s Essential!

I am a 12 year survivor of breast cancer.
