Breast Cancer Fact for 10/8...

Hey blog readers...here is the second installment of How do Women Get Breast Cancer...

While we do not yet know exactly what causes breast cancer, we do know that certain risk factors are linked to the disease. A risk factor is anything that affects a person's chance of getting a disease such as cancer. Different cancers have different risk factors. Some risk factors, such as smoking, drinking, and diet are linked to things a person does. Others, like a person's age, race, or family history, can't be changed. But risk factors don't tell us everything. Having a risk factor, or even several, doesn't mean that a person will get the disease. Some women who have one or more risk factors never get breast cancer. And most women who do get breast cancer don't have any risk factors. While all women are at risk for breast cancer, the factors listed below can increase a woman's chances of having the disease.

So now I guess you will have to wait until tomorrow to get the risk factors...I love this suspense portion of the blog (Unless you are one of those that are just waiting to read these and then...your just cheating...)

So Be Kind, Be Safe...Be Informed

Shalom my Peeps.
