One in eight women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. In 2023, nearly 300,000 women and 3,000 men will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. Chances are, you know at least one person who has been personally affected by breast cancer. In support of Breast Cancer Awareness month in October, RVNAhealth would like to encourage everyone to proactively support their health through nutrition, exercise, and regular checkups.
