Breast Cancer Awareness

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October 2016

As many of you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Did you know that breast cancer is the 2nd leading cause of death in women? Lung cancer is number 1. (Which by the way November is lung caner awareness month)

There is a 3% chance that a woman will die from breast cancer. That is about 1 in every 36 woman!!

The good news?!

There are more than 2.8 million breast cancer survivors in the United Sates.

I could write a whole lot more on breast cancer but really the best place for you to find information is on the American Cancer Society's website. Please go to
