October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Thursday, October 15, 2009 | COLUMNS: Campaigns, Things We Love, Tips & How-Tos, Uncategorized

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States and the second leading cause of female cancer death. The American Cancer Society (ACS) expects 192,370 new cases to be diagnosed this year alone. However, for those cases detected early enough, there’s encouraging news—the disease is highly treatable, with over 2.5 million survivors living in the United States today. That’s why we, at Pür Minerals, urge you to get checked and get active in the fight against this malicious disease.

Check Yourself
While regular self-checking is always encouraged, it’s no substitute for clinical screening, which can detect the disease in its earliest (and most treatable) state. In addition the month’s numerous charity and awareness events, October is also host to National Mammography Day. On the third Friday of the month (October 16 for 2009), many radiologists provide free or discounted mammograms. To find a location near you visit the Associated College of Radiology.

While the basic design remained largely unchanged (why mess with a winner?) the fabric got an upgrade to what the company calls its “luxury microplush”—two words that should never be paired together. Ever. Under any circumstance.
