October is winding down, but I’m sure you still see signs of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, reminding you to regularly screen for breast cancer, whenever you leave the house. And before the month could officially come to a close, I took a moment to share my own thoughts on breast cancer screening:
As I mentioned in my message, there are many ways to screen for breast cancer and improve your chances of early detection. Take a look at the American Cancer Society's website to learn more. There is no reason to put off breast cancer screening tests when they can be so life changing.
Even though this October’s days are numbered, I encourage you to join me in encouraging others to screen for breast cancer all year long. Did you do something this month or earlier this year to spread breast cancer awareness? Leave a comment below to keep the conversation going.
