Are you going to be sporting something pink this month? Well, you should be since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women and women with a family history of Breast Cancer have a higher risk of being diagnosed with it. Countless companies make products specifically for Breast Cancer Pink Purchases, check it out and these links that show info on women of different ethnicities with breast cancer:
1) Statistics in Women with Breast Cancer
2) Breast Cancer and African-American Women
3) Breast Cancer and Asian Women
4) Breast Cancer and Hispanic Women
5) Breast Cancer in White Women
6) Breast Cancer and Native American Women
