Did you know ?*
All women are at risks of getting breast cancer?
That African-American women have a higher chance of mortality from breast cancer than any other racial group?
1 out of 100 cases of breast cancer happen to be men.
With early detection and confided to the breast, the five year survival rate from breast cancer
is 98 percent.
*Information provided by the Susan G. Komen for the cure site
Breast cancer is a devastating disease that not only ravages the person but it also devastates families, friendships, communities, workplaces and even classrooms. Victims of breast cancer are mothers, daughters, sisters, colleagues, students and friends. Now in it's 25th year, the month of October has been designated as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In order to fund research and hopefully a cure to a disease that strikes 1 in 8 women every year, some of my favorite beauty products, jewelery companies and clothing labels are going pink for the month of October.
