Breast Impressions, Inc.
Our mission is to increase breast cancer awareness and fund raising to support breast cancer education, prevention and treatment. We donate breast casting kits to women who have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer, to make a memory prior to surgery.
Breast Impressions believes that early detection SAVES lives! Breast self-exam (BSE), or regularly examining your breasts on your own, can be an important way to find a breast cancer early, when it's more likely to be treated successfully. But it also important to learn the proper way to do a breast self exam once a month, several days after your period. You should know how your breasts feel and look from age 20 throughout your lifetime.

Wonderful Books by Breast Impressions Friends www.janewilson.tatepublishing.net
A Jar for My Tears - Breast Cancer. Two words that can shake a woman to her very core and signify a loss of everything that makes her uniquely feminine. For Jane Wilson, author of A Jar for My Tears: A Journal of Prayer and Healing for Women with Breast Cancer, her world was forever changed when she heard those words, breast cancer. But as Jane faced her cancer treatment, she knew God had answers in his Word for the healing—both physical and emotional—that she so desperately sought. To help others cope with the same experience, Jane created a journal full of hope and encouragement in which a breast cancer patient can chronicle her journey, record her hopes and fears, and find the solace and peace that only God's Word can bring."
Goddesses Don't Buy Green Bananas- is a heart-felt compilation of extraordinary photos of some extraordinary women dealing with cancer of all types. It is a pictorial essay that will grab your attention with stories of triumph, conviction, power and bravery-- a book that Lesley Daley (author/photographer) wished was available when her thirty-five year old husband was diagnosed with cancer. Driven by her own desperate need to find "comfort" with cancer, she produced this book.
