Monday myth busting continues..... Often women, newly diagnosed, will ask, I eat healthy, I’m at a healthy weight, I’m active, and I barely drink. So how did I... end up with breast cancer? There is no answer because anyone can get breast cancer. Many people think of breast cancer as an inherited disease, but the fact is most people diagnosed with breast cancer have no known family history. The biggest risk factors are simply being a woman and growing older. It is important to manage the risk factors you can control, such as weight, diet, exercise, alcohol use and hormone use. Although reducing risk factors can help lower breast cancer risk, there are no guarantees. It’s important to get regular screenings, perform breast self-exams, and pay attention to any unusual changes in your breasts. Until there's a cure, the early detection of breast cancer is so important.

I am super grateful to Ross at Full Circle Shiatsu. I was experiencing some back pain and he was able to fit me in on Saturday. Not only was my back pain gone but I was so relaxed I fell asleep!
