In a twist, the study also goes on to say that moderate drinking may be beneficial for other types of breast cancer prevention. Other health factors such as weight were also considered.

So, is it safe to drink? Here’s the thing, if you want to drink, just drink moderately. Don’t view one set of statistics that say moderate drinking is okay and then go on an all night binge. Most researchers agree that the definition of moderate drinking is four to five drinks per week, not per night.

For now it seems that moderation is the true key. If you have beaten a breast cancer diagnosis in the past and you are not sure if you should have a drink or two a week, talk to your doctor. As always, ThinkPinker.com is an advocate of knowledge, because knowledge is power, especially when it comes to breast cancer. Cheers everyone, but let’s keep the toasting light!

If you used a wig and now no longer need to do so, then donate your old wig to someone else who can and will use it. There are many women that are fighting their own personal battle with breast cancer and feeling less than adequate because of how they look and feel. If they get a nice wig to wear they will look better and by proxy, feel better as well.

What a small price to pay for someone’s happiness. ThinkPinker.com urges all women who have fought and won to donate their old wigs. Let someone else persevere who might not otherwise.

Until there is a breast cancer cure and a cancer cure there will always be those who will be stricken with this terrible disease and not be able to afford a wig. If you have yours just lying around, what are you waiting for? All the info you need, including the names,  phone numbers, and addresses of  the charities that take wig donations are located here. Please check out this worthwhile cause.

Here’s the thing; without breast cancer awareness, nobody would be asking questions. Take the color PINK for example. Simply by wearing an abundance of the color, people may ask you why you are doing so. This then gives your the opportunity to tell them that it is for breast cancer and why. Maybe the person you are speaking with will learn something new about breast cancer that they never before knew.

So by spreading breast cancer awareness, we are spreading knowledge. Only when every woman on the planet is aware of the dangers of breast cancer and the precautions to take in order to avoid the terrible disease will our quest for spreading good old fashioned breast cancer awareness be complete.

ThinkPinker.com reminds everyone reading this post that breast cancer awareness is ALL OUR responsibilities. While we may not have a loud voice on our own, together we can shout as loud as the highest decibel in the world. Until there is a breast cancer cure…FIGHT!

One in eight women will receive a breast cancer diagnosis this year alone, and Shaw now knows that she is that one. She is however very optimistic that she can and will beat this terrible disease and become another in a growing number of breast cancer survivors.

Shaw received her breast cancer diagnosis a few weeks ago and it came as a total surprise. As so often is the case, she felt fine and the discovery was made  during a routine annual exam. This should serve as a reminder to all women who are at risk because of genetics or over the age of 40 to get your mammograms each and every year.

ThinkPinker.com wishes Cheryl Shaw a quick and speedy recovery and hopes that she reaches her goal of being back in full force for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is in October. Keep fighting Cheryl, we are ALL on your side!

The Sheryl Crow Imaging Center in Los Angeles, is “a state of the art breast imaging center featuring the latest advancements in digital screening and diagnostic imaging technologies,” according to a press release that was given by Crow’s people.

The center is housed inside the Pink Lotus Breast Center. That particular center is dedicated to breast cancer screenings and breast cancer treatments of all types. Dr. Kristi Funk is the surgeon who founded the Lotus Center and she also happens to be the surgeon who found and treated the lump in Sheryl Crow back in 2006. Together the two should make for one potent breast cancer fighting team.

ThinkPinker.comis always thrilled to see a star who was affected by this terrible disease fight for their own survival and then fight for other’s as well. Sheryl Crow should be commended for her contribution to the cause and she should also be a shining example of how we have to educate, fight, and eventually with the battle with breast cancer. Way to go Sheryl!

According to a study that had its finding published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, women who consume red meat between those ages do actually have a higher risk of one day receiving a dreaded breast cancer diagnosis. This may raise many red flags with women all across America.

The study involved 90,000 women and suggests that the carcinogens from red meat being cooked and the hormones in the red meat make for the ideal partner to breast cancer. While there is much more that needs to be done in order to be 100% conclusive, this study is an almost scary start.

ThinkPinker.comas always wants women to be vigilant, but not paranoid. This post is not to suggest that you should run out and become a vegan, in fact far from it. Red meat, when eaten in moderation, should be just fine, but as with any other indulgence in life, too much may not be a good thing.

The figures that support these calims come form projections and trends that the Indian Government has been collection for years now. While the shift in cancer types at number one may not be all that alarming to those stateside, to the women of India, this is a big deal.

This is why it is so important that we all do our part to spread as much breast cancer awareness as we can so that women on every square inch of the Earth can know of the dangers of this disease and what they can do to help prevent them. ThinkPinker.com hopes that everyone who reads this post will think of different ways in which to spread the breast cancer news.

Let’s not let this scary statistic come to pass in India or anywhere else for that matter. If we all continue to work together and fight together then we will one day have what we all crave; a breast cancer cure.

We have seen this in the past from California, but now there are more and more states coming out of the wood works that are pulling the funds needed to continue the breast cancer screenings for those who cannot afford it or do not have insurance. What’s wrong with this picture?

While many wonderful non-profit organizations such as Susan G. Komen for the Cure give the needed funds to certain states, according to those making the cuts…the donations are not enough.

ThinkPinker.comhopes that this post will serve as a call to action and prompt everyone to give what they can. Yes, times are tough, but we must all band together. Breast cancer is not going to take a break because the economy is bad and we must not either.

We must all continue to fight so that every woman on Earth has access to these life saving procedures. If not, aren’t we simply turning our backs on our fellow man? Keep up the love, the hope, and please keep on fighting!

This 23 year old recently duped over 5,000 of her FaceBook friends into giving her money for her fake charity “Change” for a Cure. What she got was change to the tune of almost $20,000. She also received much attention, a trip to Disney, and spending money. When it was all said and done, her father turned her in.

Why such a young and bright girl would shave her hair and wax her eyebrows jut to fake a breast cancer diagnosis is beyond the scope of logic. What is known is that she says it was because she felt alone.

Now she faces jail time and ThinkPinker.comhopes that the judge will be swift and fair. We also want to remind you that you can always give to a notable charity such as Susan G. Komen for the Cure and know that your funds will go where they are supposed to. We mustn’t let these fakes deter us from giving all we can so that we can one day find that ever elusive breast cancer cure.

This is really no shocking news, but as I have enjoyed my participation in breast cancer walks, I felt compelled to share my experiences. When you take the time to see all those around you who have been affected with this horrible disease, you can’t help but to feel the tremendous brevity of the situation. All at once you will realize that you have to do all that you can so that we can all one day live in a world with a breast cancer cure. With no breast cancer patients, only breast caner survivors.

We can get there and ThinkPinker.com wants to remind you all that a breast caner walk is a great place to start. Just try one if you never have before. I guarantee you that you will find a special friendship or two along the way and you will bond with some amazing people. You really have no choice; breast cancer brings us all together, like it or not.
