Did you know that simply being female is the leading risk for breast cancer? One in eight women in our country will be diagnosed in their lifetime. However, with continued research and an aggressive educational push to the general public, breast cancer is slowly becoming a worry of the past. Early detection is key to taking control of cancer rather than letting cancer take control of the women you love. Along with a healthy diet and regular exercise, visits to a trusted doctor along with an honest dialogue about women’s health can help detect, treat and prevent breast cancer.

This October, don’t just wear pink – scream pink! Because the louder we speak about this serious battle, the closer we are to helping put breast cancer in the rearview mirror for millions of women nationwide.
