October is a month for ribbons, pink and red to be specific, and to raise awareness of two major diseases.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I'm a pathologist and a great deal of my job involves looking at breast biopsies and determining whether or not the sampled tissue contains cancer or not. I'm also a woman and that means I have a 1 in 8 chance of developing breast cancer myself.


With almost 6,000 Etsy items supporting breast cancer awareness it is difficult to chose favorites so I encourage you to browse through on your own. In the mean time here are some items to get you started.
