Being aware

It's a while since I posted, mainly because I've been busy. However, this morning I spotted a news item that seemed to me to be important. Martina Navratilova has been talking about her breast cancer and the fact that she missed a routine mammogram. She stresses that she's been healthy all her life, and yet she still got cancer. A salutary lesson - it's too easy to ignore those test reminders (I almost ignored mine!) but they can be the difference between being well and not.
The article is here. Take heed!
