This October is the 25th anniversary of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. More than 40,000 men and women will die from this disease this year. Early detection can save your life. Although men and women of all ages can get breast cancer, women especially aged 40 and older should get a mammogram and clinical breast exam every year. Please have yourself checked. And if you don’t already know how, it’s important that you learn how to self-examine your breasts.
Susan G. Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists.
I hope that character in the top photograph doesn’t get to participate in the examination.
don’t forget to give sera a cartoony exam! hehe… like the last frame lol ‘eeep’ you are too good!!
a very important subject !
Is that a lobster? Cool shot!
the wall can hear , and Sera write a very important text about this big fight against cancer
i hope that all walls will repeat your great recommendations…
Bravo Sera and enjoy your week end
Seraphine, may want to be a wall?
This a very important cause!
As Jean Luc i hope that allwalls repeat the recommendations
If walls had ears? Now that’s a scary thought unless I could pick and choose the tales I want to hear repeated.
I have a mammogram every year – and nag others to do the same!
I’m walking next week for a friend who just found out she has breast cancer…
She doesn’t really want everyone to know she has it. Just too hard to keep talking to people about it, I guess. Who wants to always answer the same questions over and over?
but yeah, I haven’t had a mammogram yet. I’m only 45. This will probably be the year.
lol to you, Sera for posting this! I lost my young Cousin to breast cancer. Mammograms are free in many communities and there is no reason for anyone to fear them or avoid them. Early detection saves lives. A great post!
hmmmm… yes, if only wall have ears … we will know so much … maybe it is better how it’s working now
) Genial

the illustration is awesome! and ya, the breast cancer support is very important
this is a great post!
Great image. Again full of originality, very unique! Great composition!
Creative reminder of how important it is to constantly check your boobies.
My wall would say a lot of things, but hopefully not repeat all the silly things I say.
I am glad to see you mentioned men … although we make up less than 2% of cases.
I love that photo of the lobster. I was expecting a little more pink in the pics though.
I recently read that also men can get it, although there are far more women than men who get this awful disease. In the Netherlands there was ciricism in the media that fundraising campaigns were too glamorous, and that too often exhibition of bras and tops was used because of the sex-appeal breasts have. A woman wrote in the newspaper that the disease was far from glamorous, one big misery, and that prostate-cancer would never get such an amount of glamorous attention.
at my last mammogram, the technician told me she remembered me from my previous exam… she’d been doing her internship then, and she told me she’d used me for her practicum example and final assignment. …so i left there, wondering if she chose me because i was a good example, or a bad one…. nice breasts or totally weird ones? i guess i’ll never know, but i’ve grown fond of them over the years, and i hope she was kind to them.
“Set my people free!!!” hehe great photo.
You know what i really want? A doctor that would take the job seriously. All i seem able to find are pill poppers. “oh you hurt, huh? Take this pill and you will be fine. Oh, you are already on it? Well i don’t know then.” That is far more typical of the conversations i get into with these ridiculous excuses for doctors.
