October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

People will proudly wear pink this month in support of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  About 1 in 8 women, and 1 in 1,000 men in the United States will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of their lifetime, and being proactive is crucial.  Self-exams are to be done monthly.  Also, have your doctor examine your breasts and get a mammogram. Women over 40 are especially encouraged to get a mammogram.  For more info visit http://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/breast-cancer-awareness-month.
