Although October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we need to be aware of this disease and those who fight it year-round.
Some things just can't wait until the "right time." Breast cancer awareness is one of them. This disease affects our sisters, our mothers, our aunts, our friends, and ourselves. We need to take precautions against breast cancer by getting yearly mammograms starting at age 40, and at age 35 for high risk individuals.
