October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Certainly, everything begins with awareness, whether it's the search for a cure, the best and latest treatment options, or very importantly, prevention.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women, except for skin cancers. This means that women have roughly a one in eight chance of developing the disease in her lifetime.
National Breast Cancer Awareness Month represents an opportunity for all Americans to devote some time to offering their support to the millions of women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
