As you already know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I also like to do a photoshoot  wearing a pink and a blog post to bring awareness to this. I apologize for the late post but you know what they say “better late than never.” Studies show that a woman in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer every 2-minutes and 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with it in their lifetime. When it is put that way, it sounds a little scary. This is why early detection is the best and there are over 3.5 million breast cancer survivors in the United States.
