Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a time to spread awareness about breast cancer, which remains the most common cancer among American women, aside from skin cancer, according to the CDC. Regular mammograms are the most effective way to detect breast cancer early, when treatment is most successful and before symptoms appear. The National Breast Cancer Foundation offers resources, including early detection screenings, breast health education, and a supportive community. To learn more or access resources, visit the National Breast Cancer Foundation website.
