This October, we begin a full month of awareness about the most common form of cancer among women: breast cancer.
*In the United States alone, about 1 in 8 women will get invasive breast cancer in their lifetime.
*Over 380,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer just this year
*While most common in middle aged women, breast cancer doesn’t discriminate, and it can afflict young women, older women, men.
Let us remember and be grateful for those we know who have been affected by or lost to breast cancer and remember to take preventative action ourselves through regular screenings and self-exams.
