October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so now is an important time to be aware of such a serious health condition, which might affect us or someone we know. Be responsible and do something good for yourself by checking your breasts regularly (or get someone else to do it for you if you’re lucky), be aware of your family medical history, maintain a healthy lifestyle and go for clinical breast screenings. Read the rest.Also show your support by making a “pink purchase” which is ever-popular during October.
