October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is a worldwide annual campaign involving thousands of organizations to highlight the importance of awareness, education, and research. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women, except for skin cancers. Men also get breast cancer, but it is not very common. Most breast cancers are found in women who are 50 years old or older, but breast cancer also affects younger women. There are over 3.5 million breast cancer survivors in the United States and this month you should proudly wear a pink ribbon in support of the Breast Cancer Awareness campaign.
