From the Hooters to the Tooter, Get Them Checked During Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Hello friends and welcome to this week’s feature of “Wellness Wednesday”.
October is more than a month of falling leaves, trips to the Apple Orchards and Crock Pot meals. For me it also signals the time to put my legs in stirrups and to have my boobies mashed between two metal plates. Yep, it’s time for the annual exams for the hooters and the tooter, which means I will also be scheduling my first colonoscopy. Hubby’s recent diagnosis and ultimate surgery for small intestinal cancer made it even more of a priority for me.
After checking both my work and home calendars I try to schedule my annual Pap Smear and Mammogram appointments on the same day. It’s so easy to get caught up with work and family, not to mention the holiday hoopla then forget to make an appointment.
Oftentimes, I will mix the day of appointments with a day of pampering starting with the dreaded pap smear, followed by lunch, then the mammogram and finally a pedicure ~ works for me!
I don’t care how old I am how long I’ve been having these procedures done, I never look forward to either. However, it doesn’t matter how uncomfortable they are, these vital exams must be done, no if’s, and’s or butt’s about it!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month so if you haven’t made an appointment for your annual mammogram, please use this as a reminder to do so. We all know someone who has been affected by breast cancer which is more of a reason to schedule an appointment ~ no excuses.

Good for you, there will be a cure for this deadly disease!
I’m a fan of berries, but I should definitely add more superfoods to my diet for prevention and overall health.
Girl the pictures you post sometimes! LOL But yeah, need to make my appointment.
Good, call those digits this month!
Thank you for walking. I walked for Debra, my mother, friends, my sisters and myself! It’s a horrible disease and I pray we see a cure in our lifetime. BTW I liked the picture:-)
Thanks cuz, of course I walk for all of you, your are my Shero!
Great reminder. Breast Cancer runs in my family and I really need to get myself examined too.
yes, Miss Missy, get there with a quickness so that the girls can see mommy is taking care of business!
Thank you for reminding us all that it’s time to get all of these tests done. I never realized how important it is to have a Mammogram and Pap at even a young age. Way to keep us informed doll.
You are welcome, must stay healthy so do what you have to do! Enjoy the weekend my dear.
I’ve done several Breast Cancer Awareness walks before in the Philippines and here in the US.
I had my first mammogram early this year and I totally agree with you that it’s not something I will always look forward to but I know I need to.
Good for you, it is so very important to have your mammogram, as we have lost so many beautiful women to this disease! Have a great time in the Philippines.
Great reminder for us to schedule time to take care of our health. I like the idea of throwing in some pampering as well.
