Show your support of Breast Cancer Awareness by Buying PINK! Tool In Every Woman’s Arsenal   The fight against breast cancer has a new weapon: powerful, yet as easy to use as slipping on a T-shirt.  The Mark for Life™ breast self-exam kit features a c ute form-fitting T-shirt with circles and arrows around the breasts that guide the wearer’s hand to do a breast self exam.  With the enclosed pen, women can mark the location of any lumps right on the shirt, enabling a comparison from month to month.  Lumps, bumps and knots are normal, but a doctor should be alerted to any changes, and the Mark for Life shirt makes detecting variations simple.  Discovered early, breast cancer has a 98 percent survival rate.  Developed with leading oncologist Dr. Alan Marks, medical director at Regional Consultants in Hematology and Oncology, the Mark for Life patent-pending T-shirt is a stretchy cotton/spandex blend, and is sold according to bra size (32A-44F.)  Along with detailed instructions, the breast self-examination kit includes facts about breast cancer and early detection, as well as calendar stickers.  Women also can sign up on www.markforlife.com for free monthly e-mail reminders.  The kit sells for $24.99 online, in boutiques and medical facilities.  A portion of all the proceeds from Mark for Life will be donated to breast cancer research at the University of Miami’s Sylvester Cancer Center.   Good Fortunes Contributing to a good cause not only feels good, it tastes good too! White chocolate Graham Cracker Cookies from Good Fortunes are a sweet way to help support the search for the cure.
