Breast cancer is one of women’s largest afflictions, and each waking day millions of dollars are raised and spent to fight this terrible disease. Surveys are drawn, and statistics are reported on how to reduce our risks, and finally they might just be paying off. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, a report indicates that there is an 8.6% decline in breast cancer from 2001-2004 in women that are post menopausal. This corresponds to a plunge in the number of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), which has been speculated to increase the chances of breast cancer.
While many women are opting not to take HRT, it may not be the only cause for the drop in breast cancer. Breast cancer may be genetic; however, there are quite a few precautions that you can take in order to help prevent breast cancer. These precautions may include healthy eating, and exercise. So ladies, lets do our part to fight breast cancer, and take better care of ourselves.
Please remember to stay on top of the game by getting routine mammograms, and breast exams; they are covered by all insurance companies in Colorado by State Mandate, so why not take advantage of it?
