     October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  After many years of fighting the beast, my sister died of metastatic breast to bone cancer at the age of 44.  Therefore, ladies, I ask you please remember to do your monthly self-exams and get a mammogram.  Gentlemen you can do your part by reminding your wives, daughters, sisters, mothers, aunts, grandmothers…well, you get the idea.
