October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the Fannin County Health Department staff wear pink to urge residents to learn what they can do for themselves and loved ones to prevent breast cancer or to find it early. Deaths from breast cancer have declined over time but is still the second leading cause of cancer death among women in the U.S. Early detection is key! Contact the Fannin County Health Department for more information at (706) 632-3023 or log onto www.cdc.gov/cancer/breast.
