October is breast cancer awareness month. According to the American Cancer Society, Breast Cancer is the second leading cause of death cancer in women. As women age the chance for breast cancer increases. Know your family history. And it’s important to talk with your doctor about breast cancer risks and precautions. Women in their 20s and 30s need to learn how to perform breast self-examinations and schedule routine screenings with a medical professional. Most important for women of all ages, familiarize yourself with what’s normal for your breasts. Any changes that occur should be addressed with your doctor immediately. For more detailed information and resources, you can visit Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
