Linda Tantawi, CEO, Komen Greater New York, discusses the importance about being proactive about your breast health starting at an early age to reduce the risk of breast cancer. One in 8 women are diagnosed with breast cancer. Early detection through monthly self-examinations and mammograms starting at age 50 (40 if you have a family history) is key. It's important to understand if you have dense breasts, family history and other hereditary or genetic factors. Be proactive about your health.This show is broadcast live on W4WN Radio – The Women 4 Women Network (www.w4wn.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (http://www.talk4radio.com/) on the Talk 4 Media Network (http://www.talk4media.com/).
