Why do we have to have a WHOLE month for breast cancer awareness?

Question: I mean, i think we're fully aware of what it is by now. Don't get me wrong though, it's good that people make it an important issue as many are affected by it, but what about cancers of the prostate and such.

Answers:
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, next to skin cancer. More awareness means more early detection, and more successful treatment. Many of the lifestyle improvements recommended to women to lower their risk of developing breast cancer will improve their health in other ways as well, and will also help lower their risk of other types of cancer. Furthermore, if women decrease their own risk by eating sensibly, exercising and giving up smoking, it may influence other members of their family to do it as well, so everybody wins! There is NO down side to a month set aside for breast cancer awareness. So get yourself a pink ribbon and join the fight.
