October is breast cancer awareness month. The ladies at my job asked me to join them in wearing pink every Friday in honor on Breast Cancer Awareness. I got to thinking about preventive care for breast health. It's not something that women talk about regularly. Women tend to be the caregivers focused on their children, spouses and parents on top of working. That leaves little time to think about yourselves. I'm offering a little info on breast health as a refresher. I've also including some lovely FTD flowers ideas as a way to encourage other women to focus on breast health.

Women under 40 can do self exam and when you go for your yearly pap have your gynecologist do a clinical breast exam.

Women age 40 and older should have a mammogram every year and should continue to do so for as long as they are in good health. A mammogram is an x-ray exam of the breast that is used to detect and evaluate breast changes.

With my focus on breast health I got to thinking about my mom. My mom is a young 55. She's a true caregiver. She's has had children her entire adult life. Now a proud grandmother, she spends almost every weekend with my nephew. I asked her when was the last time she had a mammogram? Her response was "Why you always bring stuff up?" I know I was bringing up an uncomfortable subject. I told her that women of color have lower rate of survial of breast cancer because we don't follow up. I started thinking of ways to take the fear out of getting a mammogram.

We all know the Pink ribbons are the symbol for breast cancer. But how could I take the pink ribbon up a notch to let my mom know how important her getting a mammogram was to me. I then rememberd about the new FTD line I had seen at a blogger event. The spectacular design flowers are inspired by natural and more organic elements. FTD designers describes this luxe collection as new, refreshing, striking, and modern. Expertly arranged you can choose a luxe bouquet shipped fresh from the farm, or an arrangement hand delivered by one of our top florists. Either way, the gift will be extraordinary. These bouquets are a perfect was to say I'm happy you chose to get a mammogram as a way for early breast cancer detection. So when my mom returns from her appointment she'll have a lovely bouquet of flowers as a thank you for caring for herself as much as she cares for the rest of her family.
