Pink Ribbon Vests

Pink ribbon vests and tops are a great way to raise awareness for breast cancer. One eighth of all women will suffer from breast cancer at some point in their lives. This shocking statistic affects not just these women, but the family and friends of those fighting breast cancer. You can raise awareness of breast cancer by wearing pink ribbon vests. You can encourage women to check their own breasts, to attend clinics, local surgeries, and hospitals for physical examinations, and you can encourage women to get mammograms. Breasts are sensitive, so these non invasive procedures – particularly mammograms – might actually cause some women more than a little discomfort.But a mammogram shouldn’t take more than half a minute for images to be taken, and the entire process takes less than half an hour. read more

Diagnostic mammograms take longer than screening mammograms because they are making diagnoses – screening mammograms are simply running checks. If you consider an analogy – a standard inspection is thorough, but an inspection where you know something might be amiss is more specific, perhaps more targeted and perhaps also more detailed. Feel free to talk about issues such as these and raise awareness of breast cancer. Raise awareness of the pink ribbon movement by wearing a pink ribbon vest today. read less
