PINK alert!!

It's the Breast Cancer Awareness month already!! I'd received email from Estee Lauder few days ago about the 2009 Breast Cancer Awareness roadshow. Hmm.. I think since it's a weekend so why not spend a little bit of time to go for a talk.. So i called.. rsvp & count down for the day.. (Oh... and it's the perfect 10/10 day!!.. what a GOOD way to put in the memory)

I join the "Breast Cancer Examination & Screening for Brest Cancer" talk. Here are some facts that I wanna share.. (to prove that I'm concentrating during the talk.. lolx..)

• Among women whom have cancer, 30%-40% were Breast Cancer
• 1 in every 8 women has Breast Cancer in Malaysia
• Chinese women has the higher % of having Breast Cancer among all race (but they haven found out why.. omg)
• 80%-90% women found out they have Breast Cancer THEMSELVES!! (by doing the Breast Self Examination)
• Women whom have their menstrual period early and end late have the higher risk for Breast Cancer.
• Women whom delivered baby late or unmarried, also have the higher risk for Breast Cancer. (because you din fully use ur breast they explained)

Ohhhhh.... after the talk, I'd know some facts and ways to prevent Breast Cancer. (and it's just like a Biology class focusing on Women's breast & hormone... oh, i missed Bio class.. )

I got our goodie bags (yikes.. forgot to mention.. I bring mr K along.. since man also posible to get breast cancer!) At the roadshow, there are some booth for us to learn more about breast cancer & do donation to support the Breast Cancer Welfare Association (BCWA). The breast cancer fighters were there to teach us how to define a lump (which is the early sign of breast cancer).. They are brave women fighting through the cancer & now sharing with us their knowlegde and experiances... That's Sisterhood!!

The doctors advice all ladies to do the Breast Self Examination monthly (after your menstrual period clear).. How? Tips!!

Know yourself & your breast! It's a part of your body. Love yourself more.. So do the Breast Self Examination...

** The goodie bags are quite interesting.. Since i got 2 bags.. Unexpectedly there are different goodie inside.. 1 is with the estee lauder Advance Night Repair & Eye Cream, another 1 is the Origins full set of travel size product.. ^^
