October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and while the constant discussion of breast cancer flooding communities is informing, educating and encouraging people around the world to be aware of the disease, it has also generated a lot of breast-cancer-related fears
Every woman wants to know what she can do to lower her risk of breast cancer.
According to BreastCancer.Org, today there are many risk factors that have contributed to more women being diagnosed with breast cancer. Most breast cancers are actually not inherited (only about 5% to 10% are)
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends that women aged 50 and older get a mammography every two years while other organizations recommend screenings every year starting at age 40. However, women who are at a high risk for breast cancer (eg: those with a family history) are encouraged to receive regular screenings and may need to have mammograms starting at an earlier age and more often.
