If you would happen to know someone who was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, then you would know that it can spread to other parts of your body.

This is called Metastatic Breast Cancer day, and this is how we recognize it.

The Month of October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Tuesday there was a Volleyball game, the students and the players wore pink to recognize Breast Cancer.

Breast cancer accounts for 12.5% of all new annual cancer cases worldwide, making it the most common cancer in the world. About 13% (about 1 in 8) of U.S. women are going to develop invasive breast cancer in the course of their life.

If you want to help, support friends or family members who may have received this diagnosis by offering assistance and listening to their needs.
