It being
Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I have been reading a lot about cancer. I was surprised that after all my research there were some basic facts about women and cancer that I was still missing. I learned a lot from this article

As women, it's important for us to know all we can about breast cancer, about what we can do to prevent it, and also what to do if we're diagnosed.
