October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October as we all know is Breast Cancer awareness month.  One in eight women will develop this disease as well as one in 1000 men.  Women with breast cancer in their family history should begin speaking to their doctors about how to perform a correct monthly self check as well as scheduling yearly mammograms when appropriate.  So wear  your pink ribbons or clothing to honor those who have fought and continue to fight this disease.  This month remember to think pink because the fight continues.
