National Women’s Health Week 2015

women health week

Recently I was contacted by a woman who is a 9 year cancer survivor of a rare form of cancer caused by asbestos exposure called mesothelioma.  You can read Heather’s incredible story here.

She shared with me that National Women’s Checkup Day is on May 12th, as a part of an annual event called National Women’s Health Week that kicks off every year on Mother’s Day, and asked if I would want to share with my readers?

Years back when I first had children, I would have seen a flyer for a family estate planning seminar and thought, “I don’t need that – I don’t have anything close to what would be considered an ‘estate’!” When I think of the word ‘estate’ I envision a multi-million dollar mansion.
