October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is an annual
campaign to increase awareness of the disease. While most people are aware of
breast cancer, many forget to take the steps to have a plan to detect the
disease in its early stages and encourage others to do the same. We have made a
lot of progress but still have a long way to go and need your help!
One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in
their lifetime. It is the most commonly
diagnosed cancer in women, and remains the second leading cause of death among
women. The good news is that death rates
for this disease have been on the decline since 1990, partially due to better
screening and detection techniques, increased awareness and improved treatment
options. For every women, especially
those over 40 years of age – it is crucial to practice regular breast self
-exams and schedule annual mammograms.
