Moreover, I've seen in television women celebrities (mostly, actresses) who were also battling with the same illness. Although, they are still living, I know they are going through painful and tough times surviving breast cancer. They are also actively campaigning to make women in the country be fully aware about the cancer. While I can't join them, I can do the campaigning in my own little way, posting this tag and getting my visitors read this vital information and disseminate it as well.
So, here it goes:
- The first sign of breast cancer usually shows up on a woman's mammogram before it can be felt or any other symptoms are present.
- Risks for breast cancer include a family history, atypical hyperplasia, delaying pregnancy until after age 30 or never becoming pregnant, early menstruation (before age 12), late menopause (after age 55), current use or use in the last ten years of oral contraceptives, and daily consumption of alcohol.
- Early detection of breast cancer, through monthly breast self-exam and particularly yearly mammography after age 40, offers the best chance for survival.
- Ninety-six percent of women who find and treat breast cancer early will be cancer-free after five years.
- Over eighty percent of breast lumps are not cancerous, but benign such as fibrocystic breast disease.
- You are never too young to develop breast cancer! Breast Self-Exam should begin by the age of twenty.
You can help the lives of many women by spreading the word about The Breast Cancer Site pink button as many times as you can. If The Breast Cancer Site receives 8 million clicks on the pink button in June, their premier sponsor -Bare Necessities- will donate $10,000 for more free mammograms. CLICK the pink button today!
Here, I'm tagging everyone, including YOU, who want to help promote the breast cancer awareness month...
