I researched a little, and found these sites:

&bull; <a href="http://www.headcovers.com/item.php?cat=Scarves&next=0">Headcovers Unlimited</a> - With cute scarves and hats in multiple patterns.
&bull; <a href="http://www.scarvesbymargaret.com/index.htm">Scarves By Margaret</a> - Offers plenty of patterns and fabrics.
&bull; <a href="http://www.bcforum.org/scarves.html">Breast Cancer Forum</a> - Illustrates methods of wearing and tying.
&bull; <a href="http://www.4women.com/fabrics.php?gclid=CNG4-oO3r40CFQsEIwodRCpwtw">The BeauBeau</a> - Has plenty of styles and fabrics in scarves, as well as ways to wear them. 

Feel free to share any other resources on scarves and hats you may have!]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Breast Cancer Screening Methods]]></title><link>http://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/mynbcf/members/stephnors/discussions/4914</link><guid>http://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/mynbcf/members/stephnors/discussions/4914</guid><description><![CDATA[Here is some of the information I picked up while doing some research on early detection of breast cancer:

<b>Methods</b>
&bull; Mammogram
&bull; Clinical Breast Exam
&bull; Breast Self-Exam

<b>Age and Frequency</b>

<b>20-39</b>
&bull; Clinical breast exam: Every three years
&bull; Breast self-exam: Once a month

<b>40 and older</b>
&bull; Mammogram: Once a year
&bull; Clinical breast exam: Once a year
&bull; Breast self-exam: Once a month

You can find step-by-step breast self-exam (BSE) instructions at www.komen.org/bse. 

What are some other good things to know about early detection? ]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Breast Cancer Survival Art - The Mamorial]]></title><link>http://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/mynbcf/members/stephnors/discussions/4877</link><guid>http://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/mynbcf/members/stephnors/discussions/4877</guid><description><![CDATA[I came across a really neat website dedicated celebration of breast cancer survival, <a href="http://www.mamorial.org">The Mamorial</a>.  It is an inspirational site made to generate global awareness and action, provide motivation, and contribute to survivors' healing process.  The artist is <a href="http://www.maryellenscherl.com/">Mary Ellen Scherl</a>, who bases the majority of her artwork on the way a woman feels about her body.  I thought this was very beautiful.  Worth taking a look, for patients, survivors, and supporters alike.  I hope you enjoy!]]></description></item></channel></rss>
