This guide offers useful information on how you can take care of yourself and start your own breast health program and how to encourage the women in your life to get checked. Knowing the facts about breast cancer can save your life, and the lives of those you love.
Every woman is at risk for breast cancer.
Although we can't prevent breast cancer, finding it early offers the best chance for successful treatment. Over 90 percent of women treated for early-stage breast cancer are alive five years later, and most breast cancer can be treated by removing the cancer, not the breast. You can help by spreading the word. Learn the facts, and pass them on to others. Be sure to ask any questions about how your breasts feel.
