Breast Cancer Awareness Tribute- for those we've lost

This picture was done partly as a reminder, as listed in the text, and partly in memory of my (RL) aunt Penny, who passed away, recently, from breast cancer... less than a day later, I lost another aunt, Jackie, to lung cancer.
Cancer is SUCH an ugly word. We all need to do what we can to try to reduce exposure to known carcinogens, and stop polluting the planet that we're supposed to have to sustain us.
We have to push harder to stop smoking - that includes me too. I'm so guilty of it, but I'm trying, and that counts, in my book.
We need to push for more frequent preventative healthcare checkups- and for those of us in the US and other countries less fortunate- we need to push for the healthcare to cover those preventative visits. So many deaths could have been avoided with earlier screenings. Be aware, cancer comes in many forms, even breast cancer- it can strike men just as hard as it can women- and it can kill you before you know what's going on. Going to the doctor is important.
Preventative maintenance on your vehicle is automatic for most... Preventative maintenance on the body should be, too.
Love one another, and savor every moment with those you have. You never know when someone you love will be taken by the ugly, often silent kliller, cancer.
