​

Breast cancer is a common cancer among American Women. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Let this be a time to focus attention on this life-altering disease, the progress that has been made to find a cure and honoring those that have had or are currently suffering from breast cancer.

 

Mammograms continue to be the best way to find breast cancer early. Free or low-cost mammograms may be available to women that qualify.

​

You can also take some steps to help lower the risk of breast cancer.

​

• Do not smoke.

• Breastfeed children, if possible.

• Keep a healthy weight and exercise regularly.

​

It is never too late to make healthy changes in your life!
