Five Things to Tell Your Friends About Breast Cancer
Tell your friends, your family - any women you care about. You could save a life.
1. All women are at risk for breast cancer - even those who have no family history of the disease.
2. The two greatest risk factors for breast cancer are being a woman and growing older.
3. Survival rates are high for women diagnosed with early stage breast cancer, when the cancer is small and has not spread. Get annual mammograms beginning at age 40, and start regular breast exams by your doctor and monthly breast self-exams at age 20.
4. Smart strategies to reduce your risk of cancer include regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and limiting alcohol intake.
5. Through early detection and improved treatment, more women than ever are beating breast cancer.
