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!
The best way to fight breast cancer is to have a plan that helps you detect breast cancer in its early stages.

Lost my mother to breast cancer 11 years ago this month. My cousin is fighting right now to a very aggressive form and undergoing a new clinical trial right now. So many new advances in the past 11 years. Praying for a cure soon.

I have had a mammogram since I was 39. I am 60 now. In 2003 I had surgery to remove a lump from my breast. I was told before the surgery I could wake up without my left breast. It was a scary time. Thankfully it was not cancer. Breast Cancer Prevention and Breast Cancer early detection works. Still Pretty in Pink.

I’ve lost several dear friends to breast cancer, one was a young single mother. If sewing and quilting could save one person, my fingers would be bloody from working day and night. Thank you for this give-away to call attention to this cause, and remind women to get their mammagram!
Beth

To each and every one of you that is fighting this dreadful disease – Keep at it, treasure each and every day! A dear friend was told she had 2 years to live. That was 3 1/2 years ago – and she just finished riding a 150 mile bike ride! She is strong, beautiful and determined to live a long life to see her kids grow up. May you all be blessed with her positive spirit!

Ladies, please do a breast self exam once a month – pick a day (eg. the 1st or your birthdate) and do it. if you find something different, you will have caught it early. No change – it will give you peace of mind.
Joy
Self breast exam is so important, do it in the shower. Make sure to have your mammogram. If caught early, cancer can be beaten.
