Be Your Own Hero [October Newsletter]

“When nobody celebrates you, learn to celebrate yourself. When nobody else compliments, then compliment yourself. It’s not up to other people to keep you encouraged. It’s up to you. Encouragement should come from the inside.”

Welcome to October mums! In this month’s newsletter, we talk about upcoming campaigns, current reviews, and our September winners.

But first, we really want to focus on an important topic that should be something each and every mumbox member takes seriously.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and we are very passionate about using this platform to encourage each and every one of you to do a monthly breast self-examination.

The incidence of breast cancer among South African women is increasing and it is one of the most common cancers among women in South Africa. It is the most prevalent cancer amongst white and Asian women and the second most common cancer among black and colored women. Facts about breast cancer:

• Early detection of the condition can lead to effective treatment and a positive prognosis.
• About 90% of patients survive for many years after diagnosis when breast cancer is detected at the early stages.
• Regular self-breast examination and regular mammograms are key to early detection.
• Presenting yourself early for treatment may result in more effective treatment, leading to a reduction in pain and suffering and a significant decrease in the loss of life.
