In my family, I have four aunts from my maternal side, are diagnosed with breast cancer. I do not know how level of their stages they have currently. But, I lost one of my aunts and she had a car accident last year. Now, I have three aunts, who are still alive, they deal with their breast cancer progress. I believe that they are ok. So what about myself? No, I do have no breast cancer; however, the chance is that I might get a cancer when I enter into the 50’s age. I have to examine my breasts by myself. Of course, I have my doctor to examine mine every year in order to make sure that I have no cancer. My doctor prefers me to stay healthy and take vitamins. She advised me to watch myself first.

I have never participated in any special events such as Breast Cancer Awareness Running 5K Campaign. But, I would like to try someday.

3) Use Nail Polish Pink Ribbon.

Yah! Many female survivors wear the pink nail polish! I would love to paint up my pink nail polish over my toes, not my fingers. Well, I admit that I really hate to paint up over my fingers because something has really annoyed me. You know, I cannot explain how it does feel. For you, I am sure that you will like to paint up whatever you want: fingers or toes.

4) Find a pink wig (or pink hair color dye).

Oh, yeah! I would love to dye a pink hair color for my own hair, but it is not for me. My sons want to do that, I say no – because their schools do not allow them to dye their hair color: pink! One of my sons is attending the private school; it does not allow him to do so due to the school policy. Another one of my sons is attending the public school, he does not mind to dye a pink hair color for his hair but his football coach prohibits all players to dye a pink hair color in the team. For you – I do not mind at all. It’s your choice to try to dye a pink hair color.
