The Legacy of October
Get a mammogram.
I can't be any more clear. It's breast health month and the pink ribbons abound. Taking care of your breast health has touched my life immensely through the life of my sister. She fights for her life.
Early detection is the key. Don't let affordability stop you. Check into programs in your community. Call your county health department. Ask questions. Do monthly breast exams.
Talk with your doctor and follow the recommendations on getting a mammogram.
I'm so glad Remifemin is here as a safe choice because it's hormone and estrogen free.
Do what you can to encourage your girlfriends, mothers, daughters and sisters to exercise good breast health year round. Be accountable to each other.
Hey! Cut out the Remifemin ad with my tips in it available in FIRST magazine this month...
make a calendar and put it on your fridge or inside your bathroom mirror...and let me remind you to take care of yourself.
You are an amazing person...and you deserve to be taken care of ....by YOU!
Let me know that you are being good to yourself this month...
Anyone doing some walks...or supporting the breast health cause in some way?
Tell your story!

Michele,
Are there any studies done on how Remifemin helps those in surgical menopause? I had a total hysterectomy and oopherectomy and the symptoms are severe.
Any thoughts??

HI Kelly,
Here is a direct quote and what study it is from... so YES! Remifemin helps no matter how you "get" the symptoms...thanks for a good question and keep blogging...
Extracts also have been shown to be useful for younger women suffering hormonal deficits following ovariectomy or hysterectomy, as well as for juvenile menstrual disorders.
