Movember: Support the Fight Against Cancer


Hello, hello, and Happy Tuesday!
 I hope that you are enjoying the start of the Thanksgiving week.
As for me and my little family,
the good news is that my son is starting to feel a little better, at least for now.

As for my husband and I, we're still a bit under the weather,
but I'll tell you what, I'd rather be ill anytime than see my little boy sick,
it breaks my heart when he is ill. So I am thankful that he's getting better.

On today's post, I want to remind you to please support the fight against
Prostate Cancer and other Male Cancer Initiatives.
The month is coming to an end and what better way to end it than supporting a cause.

There are so many campaigns out there for Breast Cancer and other Female Cancer Initiatives,
so I believe that men deserve the same support.
My dad is a Prostate Cancer Survivor and I pray everyday for his health and well being.

-The average life expectancy for men is five years less than women (presently 77 years old compared to 82).


-1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime and 1 in 3 women will be.


-Evidence suggests that about a third of the 571,950 cancer deaths expected to occur will be related to obesity, physical inactivity, poor nutrition and thus could be prevented.


-1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.


Let’s face it, men are known to be more indifferent towards their health, especially when compared to the efforts of women, who proactively and publicly address their health issues in a way not traditionally seen with men. As a result, today the levels of awareness, understanding and funding for support of male health issues, like prostate cancer, lag significantly behind causes such as breast cancer.
