Breast Cancer Awareness Month

According to BreastCancer.org, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer during their lifetime.

Breast Cancer takes away our mothers, grandmothers, sisters and friends and often leaves survivors struggling to heal physically and emotionally. Unlike many other cancers, however, Breast Cancer doesn't just affect our health and puts our lives at risk, it strikes at the core of our femininity* and reverberates through all areas of our life: relationships, work, and our enjoyment.

This October we, once again, will put the spotlight on this disease and bring you the resources, useful information, and tips for reducing the risk of the disease, self-examination and monitoring to ensure early diagnosis and much more. 

*Though far less prevalent in males than females, breast `cancer does affect both genders.
