Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among Latina women in the U.S. The reason for this somber statistic is that breast cancer is more often diagnosed at a later, more advanced stage in Latinas than in non-Hispanic women. That’s why it’s so important to get an annual gynecological and breast exam, and do your own breast self-exams, mujeres!
But we don’t have to take this news lying down! October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and there are many ways to show your support and help raise awareness. One fun way is by shopping for products that benefit breast cancer awareness and treatment. Here, we’ve rounded up the chicest, most fun products of the bunch.
Ready, Set, Shop!
