I'm sure most of us know someone who has survived breast cancer. My Mom is a survivor, and has been cancer-free for 4 years now!

Re: October is Breast cancer Awareness Month

There are several different types of breast cancer, which can develop in different parts of the breast. The most common is known as ductal breast cancer, which develops in the cells that line the breast ducts. Ductal breast cancer accounts for about 80% of all cases of breast cancer.
Other, less common types of breast cancer include lobular breast cancer, which develops in the cells that line the milk-producing lobules, inflammatory breast cancer, and Paget's disease of the breast. It is possible for breast cancer to spread to other parts of the body, such as the liver, bones, or lymph nodes (small glands that filter bacteria from the body).

I already have my pink button ready to wear! And my magnet for the car. I don't use it all the time because people steal them.

Re: October is Breast cancer Awareness Month

I thought last month was Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Why not a Lung Cancer Awarness Month? I think that's just as important. Well, anyway. Thanks for your interesting question. Here's a *STAR*.
