 Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women. I am Sarah Clemens from NDSU Extension. Having breast cancer on my family is a major concern for me as I age. I try to reduce my chances of developing breast cancer by aiming for a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and limiting alcohol consumption. Staying healthy throughout one's life is the single most effective way to minimize your risk of developing breast cancer. Early detection is key, and that is the reason my mother has now been cancer-free for the last six years. Please take the steps to minimizing your risk by achieving and maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and getting your recommended mammograms.
