I also have the pleasure of participating in a BLM Girls Go Pink Blog Hop. The BLM Girls are a wonderful group of ladies supporting one another in their blogs. Check us out HERE! Also please take the time to check out the other fabulous ladies participating in the Blog Hop
Here are a couple of interesting facts that I found while working on this post.
* Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer no matter the race or ethnicity.
* Breast cancer is less common but more aggressive in women over age 50.
* African-American women are more likely to be diagnosed with advanced stages of breast cancer and also
have the highest death rate.
* Native Americans have the lowest incidence of breast cancer.
For the last few years I’ve participated in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in a group known as the “Bippity Boppity Boobs”. Love that name! Remember early detection is the best and take care of yourself.

Thanks for visiting Marie! I'm so glad it was benign as well and I'm alive and healthy!
Good post! maybe this year I can do the race with you, normally I do relay for life and the AIDS walks.
Hey! That would be great if you want to walk with us! Hit me up and let me know since the order for the shirts needs to be in tomorrow. We would love to have you join us! 😀
Great Post!!! I'm glad that everything was okay and I love that you walk for a cure! I walk with the Revlon Run Walk every year since 2007, in memory of my Grandmother Celeste Thompson, My Friend Tiana Kennedy and My male Cousin Hulon Thompson. Early detection is the key. Keep up the Good works! God has a plan for you Momma!!!
I meant to mention male breast cancer as well and completely forgot. I'm really hoping that God can also give me some more strength for all these “tests” he keeps putting me through… a sistah is tired! lol You have fun at your walk as well and thanks for stopping by!
I am glad your lump was benign. Thank you so mich for sharing your story.
Thanks so much Katherine! I try my best to tell everyone how important early detection is.
“Bippity Boppity Boobs”! What a great name and a great cause 😀
Thanks for sharing your story! I've had a few distant relatives who were diagnosed with breast cancer and I'm glad there's so much awareness for it.
I'll be sure to share all the great pics from our walk Traci. Thanks for stopping by! 😀

LOL!!! Thanks for stopping by and def see if your doc has one of those fake boobs! haha Have fun checking out my ramblings!
Wonderful post! So happy that everything worked out in good graces and the lump was benign. I know it was hard going through that at such a young age.
Thanks for stopping by Britt!!!
Thanks for doing this post! It looks so much better on blogger! I love this post and thanks for participating! #BLGirls
I have enjoyed this blog hop and love checking out all my #BLMGIRLS! 😀
Amazing how even though it effects all races it does it differently…makes you wonder why. Great post and happy hopping!
I had fun hopping along today! Thank you for hopping on by as well! 😉
Wow! As early as 17 you found a lump! Thanks for sharing…opened my eyes to how this can effect people in their teens and twenties.
I know it's crazy to think of happening at such an early age. I really hope more doctors are just as proactive with their young patients as well. Thanks for stopping by!
So cool how you embedded the hop into your post. If I tried to do that the entire WordPress SITE would have crashed. Great pics, too.
That is too funny Mo! I have absolutely no idea how I even made that work. I was just trying to put the link in and then viola! We are doing another walk this weekend and I will def being sharing pics from that day! 😀
