Happily, survival rates are at an all-time high, but this can’t happen without early detection. This was the message sent out as the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation held its annual Awareness Day luncheon at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. An impressive panel of VIPs and politicians signed a proclamation to the year 2020 and “a future without Breast Cancer.” Then, an astute panel of experts delivered the biggest message of the day: Get an annual mammogram. So far, I have been lucky. Up until this week, I honestly hadn’t thought about doing it — but now I am. So it is with great humility that I dedicate this column to all women in battle, and to mark the end of Breast Cancer Awareness Month by challenging women to discuss this option with your doctor. Also, congrats go out this week to the good folks at the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund and their Rockin’ for Research gala at the Hyatt hotel. This group is getting closer and closer to a cure. And lastly, Stanley Park Pavilion was possessed on a number of levels Halloween night as the Jet Set Crew took flight with their highly successful Monster Mash bash which attracted some of Vancouver’s most boo-tiful people.
