PINK FRIDAY 1 - Cop A Feel

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month in the United Kingdom.  Every year almost 46,000 people are given the devastating news that they have breast cancer - that's one person every 11 minutes.

Over the next month I will be using my blog space on a Friday to coincide with Pink Friday from BreastCancerCare.org.uk  I will be posting some links that I hope you will find useful and some reader experiences in line with the Cancer - Your Story series.   PLEASE share these blog posts (there will be five in total) within your network.  You never know... someone may need this information.
