Figures released by Breast Cancer Care United Kingdom show that 85 per cent of women survive breast cancer for more than five years, and an estimated 78 per cent survive for 10 years or more. The only effective and proven method to detect breast cancer early is an X-ray of the breasts called mammogram.

The original intent of the awareness month for breast cancer, which was raising awareness about mammographic screening – has now been achieved.

“Most cases of breast cancer are found by women noticing unusual changes and visiting their GP, so it’s vital that Scottish women regularly check themselves and take action if they spot anything that is unusual for their body”.

“Ms. Tracey Trott and Mr. Duval Robinson are the chairpersons of CedarBridge Academy Breast Cancer Awareness Committee”.

“Never having had a baby or having delayed the birth of your first child to an older age, taking hormone replacement therapy, being obese, not exercising, smoking, excessive alcohol intake all increase the risk of breast cancer”, said Dr. Graff.

Eleven cents of every stamp goes straight to breast cancer research.

As part of the “Light the Way for a Cure” program, Mercy Medical Center North Iowa will flood the front of their east entrance with pink lights every night in October.

WWE will be utilizing all its assets to promote Komen’s mission. They have a brain, mind, body and soul and deserve to be recognized for those too.

Police Chief Anthony Miranda said he was proud of department personnel for their efforts. “WWE remains deeply committed to this movement, as we utilize our global platforms to raise awareness and funds for a disease that impacts so many people around the world”.
