October is marked as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This is a great opportunity for increased attention to early detection and treatment. Also, we at H&B want to draw more attention to palliative care of this disease.

Coping with body image is an age-old tradition for women. The loss of a woman's breasts to cancer can affect her self-esteem, her sex drive, and just how she feels about herself as a woman.

October is marked to be the breast awareness month. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women. The good news is that most women can survive breast cancer if it’s found and treated early. A mammogram – the screening test for breast cancer – can help find breast cancer early when it’s easier to treat.
