Breast Cancer Awareness is celebrated worldwide in the month of October. The disease itself is active 24/7 affecting many lives. We would like to remind women that every day and every month a woman should be taking the responsibility to be in charge of her health. Remember to perform your monthly self breast exams and to schedule annual doctor exam, and the necessary mammogram.
