Here are a few specific things that we wanted to pass along from the Susan G Komen for the Cure site:
1. Know your risk
- Talk to your family to learn about your family health history
- Talk to your provider about your personal risk of breast cancer
- Ask your doctor which screening tests are right for you if you are at a higher risk
- Have a mammogram every year starting at age 40 if you are at average risk
- Have a clinical breast exam at least every 3 years starting at 20, and every year starting at 40
See your health care provider right away if you notice any of these breast changes:
- Lump, hard knot or thickening
- Swelling, warmth, redness or darkening
- Change in the size or shape of the breast
- Dimpling or puckering of the skin
- Itchy, scaly sore or rash on the nipple
- Pulling in of your nipple or other parts of the breast
- Nipple discharge that starts suddenly
- New pain in one spot that doesn’t go away
- Maintain a healthy weight
- Add exercise into your routine
- Limit alcohol intake
The internet is a wealth of information regarding breast cancer, please take the time to educate yourself. Do it for yourself... and your loved ones!
Our first Pink Ribbon product is the special edition pink "Ida Flop Shoe". Lindsay Phillips proudly designed this shoe in memory of her grandmother. A 1/2" modern flop featuring the Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon and pink ruffle flower signature strap (which is also interchangeable!).
Not only is it a stylish addition to any woman's wardrobe, it's a simple way to support an important cause. When you purchase the Breast Cancer Awareness Flop, 25% of the purchase price will be donated to Young Survival Coalition and The Mammography Voucher Program at Morton Plant Mease Hospital.
