Cross over between Pink October 🎗 and Halloween 👻 or how to hide in plain sight the emotions associated with talking about breast cancer behind the triviality of Halloween. Please and thank you: 🔊 Let's listen to our body despite the noise surrounding busy days and make room in our planning to get tested! According to a 2021 study by an insurance company, 4 out of 5 women first take care of a loved one's health problems before looking after their own. The result: on average, 8 out of 10 women put off going to the doctor in favor of self-medication, while 7 out of 10 say they would never miss a loved one's medical appointment. 👧 👵 🙏 NO you... I meant to say we 😉 are not too young to test: Overall, about 11% of all breast cancers occur in women younger than 45, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Let’s make an appointment and get screened frequently and diligently. Bravo and thank you to all the fighters (Mum you are the best!). Thanks to all the powerful message and especially elle legrand for providing a great platform within the company. I've made an appointment for early December. What about you? #legrandimprovinglives #pinkoctober
