October is now Pinktober
Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer in women. About 1 in 8 women born today in the United States will get breast cancer at some point.
The good news is that most women can survive breast cancer if it’s found and treated early. A mammogram – the screening test for breast cancer – can help find breast cancer early when it’s easier to treat.
National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a chance to raise awareness about the importance of early detection. Make a difference! Spread the word about mammograms and encourage communities, organizations, families, and individuals to get involved.
