October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Monday, 26 October is Pink Ribbon Day.
Chances are someone you know has been diagnosed with breast cancer or affected by breast cancer. One in eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, which when you really sit down to think about it, is quite a scary statistic.
Breast Cancer is in my family. My Nanna had it and one of my Aunties sadly passed away a few years ago. Recently a close friend of mine was diagnosed.
My mum has asked me a number of times if I’d consider having the genetic testing done to see if I inherited the gene, but I’m not sure I would want to know..
Breast Cancer Awareness Month provides us the opportunity to focus on breast cancer and its impact on those affected by the disease. Take the time this month to educate yourself on the facts and be breast aware.
There are many opportunities to help contribute to the fight against breast cancer. Host a pink ribbon event, and you can help towards supporting those who are affected by breast cancer, and eventually helping to eradicate this disease altogether.
