Breast Cancer Awareness
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
This is a great time to start really learning what Breast Cancer is. Some people have the misconception that your chances of getting it are slim to none if it does not run in your family. In fact I myself thought that for a while but unfortunately we all are at risk on getting it.
The Myth
Having a family history of breast cancer means you will get it.
The Truth
While women who have a family history of breast cancer are in a higher risk group, most women who have breast cancer have no family history. If you have a mother, daughter, sister, or grandmother who had breast cancer, you should have a mammogram five years before the age of their diagnosis, or starting at age 35.
