Breast Cancer - Top Ten Things Every Women Should Know

[Guest guest]

A very good piece of information which I received in my email this

morning. I always believe that prevention is better than cure. We

can help those women close to us and around us to fight against

Breast cancer by providing them with relevant information on Breast

cancer prevention. Forward this article to your family and friend so

that it can benefit them too. Wishing everyone good health!

Breast cancer is a reality many women will have to deal with.

Statistics show that one woman out of nine will develop breast

cancer in her life. Whether it be a dear friend, a close family

member or herself, every woman will be touched by breast cancer in

one way or the other. Breast cancer accounts for about 30% of all

cancers.

 

Every woman should be aware of the risk factors and change those she

can to lower her risk of developing breast cancer in her life.

 

Women who are not active physically, smoke or consume a lot of

alcohol are at higher risk to develop breast cancer. Women who have

their first child at a later age or have never given birth are at

higher risk to develop breast cancer. Women who had their first

period at an earlier age (less than 12 years old) are at higher risk

for breast cancer. Woman who have close family members who had

develop breast cancer are at higher risk for themselves.
