DSM COMMEMORATES BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an international health campaign that’s observed every October every year. The month aims to promote screening and prevention of the disease, which affects most women worldwide…..
Breast cancer knows no age, race, religion and socioeconomic status boundaries. …It typically strikes women during their most productive years both professionally and personally….while we have different languages, varied cultured and diverse origins, we share a common enemy: BREAST CANCER. Hence this awareness month reminds us that breast cancer affects millions around the world and that if we work together, we can defeat it"
Best known for its pink theme color, the month features a number of campaigns and programs aimed at;
•supporting people diagnosed with breast cancer, including those with metastatic breast cancer
•educating people about breast cancer risk factors
•encouraging women to go for regular breast cancer screening starting at age 40 or earlier, depending on personal breast cancer risk.
# NO ONE SHOULD FACE BREAST CANCER ALONE
FOCUS ON THE FIGHT AND NOT THE FRIGHT
