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.

All the comments are “spot on” & caring. As a breast & colon cancer survivor I know only too well how important all these guidelines are. I have always been religious with self exams & continue to do so; however, a Mammogram found the breast cancer which was deeply imbedded & I am forever grateful. Life has become more meaningful & precious leaving the mundane behind.

Lost my Best Friend to breast cancer, it is a nasty way to go. I hope a cure is found soon.

Breast cancer takes so much away from a woman. Let’s give her something back by letting her know that she is still beautiful and loved and by making a beautiful gift for her.

We are so fortunate to have breast cancer awareness information to help many women. I know the struggles of cancer as my husband has bone cancer. Detection early is so crucial

My dear sewing friend is now eight years post diagnosis. It was a very difficult journey through multiple surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation. I am so grateful to still have her in my life and thankful that her treatment was successful.

Thank you for supporting Breast Cancer! It sucks! I have two family members fighting and one who died from complications of breast cancer at the age of 50.

Although the majority of its victims are women, breast cancer also can strike men. We ladies need to continue our own regime for early detection – and to encourage the men that we love to do the same. We can be “pretty in pink,” and can help to keep the men we love “in the pink,” too!
Nancy N
Need to remember that men can have breast cancer also.
