How to Perform A Breast Self-Exam
Women should perform a self, breast exam each month and any changes or abnormalities should be discussed with a doctor or physician. Here is the link from the National Breast Cancer Foundation on how to perform the self-exam - http://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/breast-self-exam

Clinical Breast Exam
A clinical breast exam is performed by a qualified nurse or doctor. A healthcare professional will check for lumps or other physical changes in the breast that may need to be investigated.

Mammogram
A mammogram is an x-ray that allows a qualified specialist to examine the breast tissue for any suspicious areas.

Healthy Habits
Leading a healthy lifestyle can help you reduce your risk for breast cancer and other illnesses.

    I was diagnosed with stage 3 invasive carcinoma on 8/2/16. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I was angry, confused and scared. After digesting this devastating news, I was determined to beat this. I looked at my son and knew I was going to fight. I had a double mastectomy on October 2016 and had to complete 8 rounds of chemo. My last chemo treatment was Jan 12, 2017. I got my implants in March. I have to take tamoxifen for 10 years and get routine blood work every 6 months. I'm grateful to still be here. It's very important to check your boobs, it could save your life. Early detection is the key.

    I was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2015. Since, I have had 7 surgeries to include a bilateral mastectomy, and a radical complete hysterectomy. In addition, my gallbladder had to be removed from being damaged by chemotherapy. My cancer was the result of being environmentally exposed In the Persian Gulf War. I try to tell my story to anyone who will listen, in hopes that I can save someone's life by bringing awareness that all Persian Gulf War veterans should be tested, both women and men. I was lucky my cancer was discovered at an early stage, giving me a chance to save my life. There have been a lot of people that didn't get that chance. I had no family history and genetic testing was negative. My very first mammogram they found a lump in my left breast, I elected for a bilertal because I was having pain in the other breast. After surgery, they found atypical cells in the other breast that did not show up on the mammograms. The surgeon told me that I had saved my life. As females we have to listen to our bodies, it will let you know when something is wrong. Another thing that is important, that got me through was my trust in God, continued prayers of my family and friends, and a positive attitude. I will keep all of you in my prayers. Keep fighting like a girl!!!

Party Favors - Barefoot Wine wrapped in tulle 2 of The Ladies on a Vine recently went to a baby shower of our good friend having twin girls. We knew it was going to be fabulous, her family always throws creative and festive parties. The theme was Candyland and everything looked so cute and perfect! As we walked in, we immediately noticed they incorporated wine into the theme. Serving liquor at baby showers has become quite popular. Baby showers are not your old fashioned living room parties with punch and sandwiches, they are carefully thought of productions that can become lavish! Don't feel pressured to serve liquor at the baby shower if you are the planner or the expected mother. Since the mother can't drink herself, it's really up to her how she feels about serving alcoholic beverages. Also it can add to the cost of the event. Party Gifts - Barefoot Moscato If you do decide to serve liquor, wine is the perfect choice. Wine can be inexpensive and it'
