My grandma is a 2 time breast cancer survivor, and I was informed yesterday by an old friend that his wife was battling her 3rd round of breast cancer.  Another friend of mine has a 28 year old friend with breast cancer.  Christina Applegate, a 36 year old actress, was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and chose to have a double mastectomy as her form of treatment.  I'm sure everyone can think of at least one person they know who has had breast cancer.
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month.  For more information, education, preventative practices, and resources check out the national breast cancer awareness website or the Susan G. Komen foundation.
