with developing breast cancer. You may not be able to change your age,
gender, race and family medical history, but risks such as obesity, smoking,
alcohol consumption, unhealthy diet and lack of exercise are all within
our means to control. Stay up to date on your mammograms and stay informed
of your own health. Early detection saves lives.
