Tuffy Luv Is Scared of Breast Cancer, Too

Tuffy Luv

My boyfriend noticed a lump in my breast while we were fooling around. I'm so scared. I can't sleep. I'm afraid to tell my parents. I'm at school so I could go to the clinic but I'm really scared about what they'll say. What should I do?

Kylie - Vermont

For all of us twenty-something college girls with pre-gravitized boobies, it’s time to wake up and smell the sterilized tools: breast cancer is common in women under the age of 30. Before you all go kill-the-messenger crazy on me, think about it. Breast cancer is not just a menopausal-mommy disease.

Friday Faves: Breast Cancer Isn’t an Older Woman’s Disease

I was your typical college sophomore. I was active on campus, had a great group of friends, and kept myself busy with schoolwork. I was enjoying my time at The College of New Jersey, and felt truly blessed with an amazing life. Then in April 2009, everything changed completely. In the midst of studying for final exams and celebrating the end of the school year, I was going back and forth between TCNJ and New York City for doctor visits.

Talia Fuhrman

Shopping Pink: Cuteness for a Cause

Jill

There is no shortage the pink goodness to go around this month - it seems like everyone's getting in on the fun (including the NFL!). The best thing about it (besides the fact that every dollar spent helps find a cure, of course) is that a lot of stuff we'd buy anyway is going pink, so it's never been easier to contribute to the cause.

It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Let’s Talk Boobs

Ness

As a kid, there were a lot of things I was looking forward to having once I became a “grown-up” -- a boyfriend, my period (I don't know why I was looking forward to that, but I was), and getting my very own set of beautiful breasts. Not only would their arrival mean I was turning into a woman, but I felt like they would make clothes look that much better.
