BarbershopStep Thinks PINK for October
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month so I wanted to do my part to raise awareness here on BarbershopStep.
Breast cancer is the leading cancer among American women and is second only to lung cancer in cancer deaths. This year in the United States, 212,920 women and 1,720 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 40,970 women and 460 men will die from the disease. When breast cancer is found early (and confined to the breast), your chances for survival are the greatest. For information on general breast health, early detection, risk factors, diagnosis, treatment and support, please visit the Susan G. Koman Breast Cancer Foundation’s ABC’s of Breast Cancer.
Also, can go to TheBreastCancerSite.com, where your click on the “Fund Free Mammograms” button helps fund free mammograms, paid for by site sponsors whose ads appear after you click and provided to women in need through the efforts of the National Breast Cancer Foundation to low-income, inner-city and minority women, whose awareness of breast cancer and opportunity for help is often limited.
