When life gets busy, it's easy to delay or even skip important health screenings. But the longer cancer goes undetected, the more opportunity it has to grow and spread. Regular screenings are the best way to detect cancer early, when it is easier to treat.

It's important to educate and empower ourselves with knowledge and resources to combat breast cancer and improve our health outcomes.
