Breast cancer is such a scary and prevalent disease that all of us can relate to knowing someone either closely or distantly related who has survived and in some cases succumbed to breast cancer. This is such a scary and impactful disease and we at DDS, pray that breast cancer will be eradicated in our lifetime. Out President, Ebitari Larsen, has participated with the Orange County Breast Cancer Angels to do fundraising for research for a cure and raise awareness of the early symptoms of breast cancer so that we can eradicate it in the world.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), breast cancer is the second most common cancer in the world and the most common cancer in women worldwide, accounting for 25% of all incident cases of female cancers.* October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, that’s why you’re probably seeing a lot of pink awareness ribbons this month for an annual campaign to raise awareness about the impact of breast cancer. Covid-19 has posed a challenge to just about everything, and breast cancer awareness is no exception. DDS stands with all the brave women out there who are battling Breast Cancer and staying strong. We urge you to keep checking the affected ones by breast cancer, this month. See how they are recovering with the constant reminders and support. Let’s take a look at the symptoms and risk factors.

Together we can fight this. Those diagnosed yesterday or years ago or those suffering from different stages of Breast Cancer and those consistently thinking about their loved ones as well as those waiting for their symptoms to not be breast cancer we stand with all of them. This month come your homes and get screened and seek medical attention, if a suspicious lump is detected. As people come together for Breast Cancer Awareness Month worldwide, we need to continue public health awareness programs and fundraisers, facilitate the breast cancer screening/detection process, and honor those who have won against this disease.
