💗 According to the @nbcf in recent years, perha 💗 According to the @nbcf in recent years, perhaps coinciding with the decline in prescriptive hormone replacement therapy after menopause, we've seen a gradual reduction in female breast cancer incidence rates among women aged 50 and older. 🌤️ Death rates from breast cancer have been declining since about 1990, in part due to better screening and early detection, increased awareness, and continually improving treatment options #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #UCBCStrong
💅 What if you could have access to information 💅 What if you could have access to information right now that would help inform you and your family about the future and implement lifestyle changes to live a healthier, longer life going forward?
