Did you know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month?
The American Cancer Society estimates that 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed among women around the world this year, and chances are you know someone who has been diagnosed herself.
This week’s Smilebox of the Week comes from a breast cancer survivor named Brandi Palmer. As an early-detection-advocate, Brandi created this breast cancer awareness slideshow to share her story and encourage women to regularly get checked for breast cancer. Says Brandi:
It is my wish that this video/slide show will promote early detection and awareness while hopefully saving a few lives along the way.
Do you know anyone who has had breast cancer? Did they benefit from early detection?
Note: This Smilebox contains partial nudity in a medical setting in order to honestly convey the true nature of breast cancer. Please use discretion while viewing this video.

I dont know the month of Breast Cancer in America…but my self know about Breast Cancer and know that make many woman die because Breast Cancer.
My grandmother and sister die because Breast Cancer,one of my sister had a Breast Cancer,but shes alive for that because shes already took an operation and shes a good health now.
God bless you! I lost my sister in law to breast cancer, she left 4 beautiful children, the oldest being 10 at the time! They have all put themselves through college, they had to fight the breast cancer fight also! It affects to many people! One of my neices is living with me now to pay off her college loans! I pray for you!
Early detection saved my grandma from cancer 3 times now. I ran in the Race for the Cure this year and gave what I could to fight the good fight.
