2008 Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Speak Up: How Have You Been Affected by Breast Cancer?
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is coming to a close, but I know for many of you, you don't stop thinking about breast cancer when the month of October draws to an end. It's disheartening that breast cancer is so prevalent, and I'm sure every one of you knows someone who's been diagnosed, has recovered, or lost the battle against this horrible disease. Many of you have stories to share, and by letting others know it increases awareness about breast cancer and connects us in some way.

Kimberley Walsh took time out from celebrating Girls Aloud's number one to return to her native Yorkshire and open a Haven Breast Cancer Centre in Leeds yesterday, having been inspired by her dance teacher Deana Morgan, who has recently been treated for breast cancer.

Think Before You Pink, Says Advocacy Group
If you've shopped at all this month, you've likely come across dozens (if not hundreds) of pink-ribbon products.

But with all of the pink-ribboned offerings, how can you choose wisely?

Shower Clock Prevents Breast Cancer
OK, well, maybe it doesn't scientifically prevent breast cancer cells from forming, but what it does do is remind you to do your monthly breast exams. We all know we should be doing them religiously so that we know instantly if something doesn't feel right, but it can be tough to remember every month. So the Cue Shower Clock ($25) does the remembering for you.
