Breast Care Awareness Month Events- Brought To You By Breastcare 101
Breast cancer is cancer that forms in the cells of the breasts. Breast cancer can occur in both men and women, but it's far more common in women.
After skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women in the United States. But breast cancer rates have fallen in recent years, though doctors aren't certain why. Still, for many women, breast cancer is the disease they fear most.
As October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month, we would like to share a few of our ideas on how to get involved in helping support the effort to end this disease that affects so many women (and some men too!).
1. Get signed up for the BreasText program sponsored by Best Self Atlanta, Piedmont Hospital and 97.1 The River. Each month you will receive a FREE text reminding you that it's time to do your selfexam. So simple and easy and it could save a life! Head to breastcare101.com for more information.
2.Purchase a GROHE Ladylux faucet or pink faced Rainshower Icon and $25 of each purchase will go to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, where $25 pays for 30 minutes of research time. Visit www.grohehopeflows.com for details.
