Not meaning to offend anyone here, but I found this public service advertisement just hilarious. Very well done and worth watching!

Ladies of FG, did you find this funny? Or...?

Happy Wednesday!

That's too bad! You need to install either Quicktime or Microsoft's Media Player.

I have always tried to be as Breast aware as the next man, but I will try harder in the future.

Seriously how can anyone be offended, any thing that helps has got to be good, recently a Prostrate awarness radio ad was subject to an attempted ban here, they had recieved 22 complaints 16 of which were from women!!!.

This is how I see it men have no say in how women are made aware of breast cancer and vice versa for prostrate

Ahahaha when I read "breast awareness"

I could only laugh and wish to reply "yes I am aware I have breasts"

However, breast exams do save lives.

My first thought was "My DH is very aware of mine." :wah:

I had my mammogram a couple of weeks ago. They have recovered.

I would much rather have my hubby do my monthly breast exams....

Thanks Tombstone for a lighthearted October is breast exam month reminder. I will tell ALL women here that I did mammograms every year and still got caught with stage 2B breast cancer (estrogen caused because of my age) 1 month before my yearly mammogram. I caught it from a self breast exam - I waited 6 weeks before calling my doc - I am the first person in memory of my family to have cancer. There are 2 kinds of breast cancer that I know of. One is caused by changing estrogen levels (mine at 47 years old - the menopause thing) and the other is genetic or something else and strikes younger women and is much harder to treat. Be aware and be safe ladies.
