October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we’re spending some time here discussing issues related to the subject of prevention of breast cancer and detecting it early.  The good news is that when breast cancer is detected early, it’s usually very treatable.  But there are many different screening options available, and knowing which one is right for you is important.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure has an excellent resource collection on screening.  You can find it here.

It contains a wealth of information about the different kinds of screening techniques available, and also has some interesting links to other related information.  For instance, there’s a great to information about what to do if you find a lump.  Did you know:

- Most lumps are not cancer

- Some lumps go away on their own

- Often lumps are related to menstrual cycles

In any case, you should consult your health care provider to make sure.  We strongly suggest that you check out these great resources to find out more about the screening you should have.

And if you are in the market for a new sex toy this month, we’d appreciate your support for our Toys for Ta Tas campaign to raise money for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

According to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, “Except for skin cancers, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, but it can be successfully treated. Screening tests can find cancer early, when it’s most treatable.”  So while appropriate regular screening is important, it is equally important to understand your body and to have a healthy breast self awareness.

The organization lists 4 important aspects of breast self awareness:

1. Know your risk.

2. Get screened.

3. Know what is normal for you.

4. Make healthy lifestyle choices.

You can find more specific information, including an excellent breast self awareness (BSA) Interactive Tool on the Susan G. Komen for the Cure website.  We encourage all of our customers and friends to check out this helpful link to learn more.

And if you are in the market for a new sex toy this month, please consider purchasing from us and supporting our Toys For Ta Tas campaign to raise money for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Did you know that Susan G. Komen for the Cure lists over 20 different risk factors for breast cancer?  That’s the kind of information that most people can easily access, but many do not.  But the fact is that the best way to treat any cancer is to prevent it from happening in the first place.  So today, we wanted to pass along some a helpful link about risk and prevention to you.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure has created a great database of information about breast cancer risk and prevention.  You can find it here.  It contains links with many details about risk groups, what you need to understand about risk and how you can increase what you are doing to prevent breast cancer.

October is breast cancer awareness month, and we wanted to take this opportunity to encourage all of our customers and friends to make sure that you are doing everything you can to lower your risk for breast cancer, and to take the actions necessary to prevent it.  And we are also running our own Toys For Ta Tas campaign to raise money to help raise money for this cause.  So we urge you to take time to study the risk factors in the link above, donate to help find a cure, and if you’re in the market for a new sex toy, help us raise money for the cure as well.

Together, we can all spread the word to help bring an end to breast cancer forever.
