Breast cancer is on every woman's mind, and all women are at risk.
The good news is that when breast cancer is detected early, it can be treated successfully. No matter what your age, you should have your own breast health program of regular check-ups. The mission of Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization is to decrease the impact of breast cancer, create and increase breast cancer awareness, and to ensure, through information, empowerment and peer support, that no one faces breast cancer alone.
