It’s October….Think Pink !!!!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and the best prevention is early detection. Here's some interesting info and some advice from Ellen.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

While most people are aware of breast cancer, many forget to take the steps to have a plan to detect the disease in its early stages and encourage others to do the same. We have made a lot of progress but still have a long way to go.

A survey by Avon reveals that

- 33% of women are 'too scared' to check their breasts for cancer. Other findings:

- one in 2,000 women will develop breast cancer by the age of 29, while one in 22 will have had it before they hit 60

- 57% of women forget to check their breasts for lumps on a regular basis.
