October is pink!
Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Since 1985, the month of October has been known worldwide as breast cancer awareness month. The purpose of this month is, to draw attention to the treatment, research, and prevention of breast cancer. The symbol of the “Breast Cancer Awareness Month” is the pink ribbons, which most people have already encountered. This year we, M1 Med Beauty, want to contribute again to this project and provide you with important information about breast cancer. Besides, our employees wear pink ribbons throughout October as a sign of solidarity and support.
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women and accounts for 28% of all cancers in Europe. At the same time, almost 90% of the women suffering from this disease can be cured nowadays. The earlier breast cancer is detected, the better the chances of recovery. If the cancer is too far advanced and has attacked other organs and the so-called metastases form, a complete recovery is only very rarely possible. However, thanks to medical progress, patients can often live for decades with the right medical support. [1]
