October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 

Tomorrow is the Start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Norman-Mahnomen Public Health is raising awareness all month long. Tammy Carlsrud of Norman-Mahnomen Public Health tells us why Breast Cancer Awareness Month is so important. 

Carlsrud says the best way to prevent breast cancer is to do constant mammogram screenings, as well as self examinations at home. 

While it is most prominent in women, Carlsrud says men should also do self exams, as they are also at risk of breast cancer. 

You can learn more about breast cancer, and cancer resources by going to the Center for Disease control website at www.cdc.gov/cancer/features/breast-cancer.
