Breast cancer strikes 1 in 9 women. While there is no cure at this time, there IS hope.
Early detection is the key.
Women over 40 should have yearly mammograms. If there is a history of breast cancer in your family discuss with your doctor the need to have them at an earlier age. Once a month give yourself a self-breast exam. Get to know every lump, ripple and bump in your breasts so that you will notice any changes. Relay these changes to your doctor.
