October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and all sorts of places from websites to your local grocery market are going pink to spread the word about this widespread disease and raise funds to help fight it. By donating, wearing your pink bracelet or informing friends about breast cancer, you can join the community in promoting this important cause. Individually, you can equip yourself with the proper knowledge so that you can prevent breast cancer, catch it early, or treat it. The cause for breast cancer is still unknown but there are known risk factors and treatments associated with alleviating it. Most breast cancer treatment consists of medical approaches like surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, biological/hormonal therapy and monoclonal antibodies, but breast cancer patients might also choose to seek alternative breast cancer treatment.
