As you probably know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and this year it’s 25-years-old!
According to The National Breast Cancer Awareness Month website, NBCAM has been at the forefront of promoting awareness of breast cancer issues and has grown with the national dialogue of breast cancer.
The organization plans to stay dedicated to educating and empowering women to be in control of their breast health by regularly conducting self-breast exams to discover any changes, scheduling regular visits and yearly mammograms with their doctors and more.
