According to the American Cancer Society, “More women in the United States are surviving and thriving after breast cancer than ever before. In fact, in the last 30 years, the breast cancer death rate has dropped an astounding 40%. The decreases are believed to be the result of finding breast cancer earlier through screening, increased awareness, and better treatments.”
In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month STAR 99.1 is partnering with Pink Breast Centers throughout New Jersey to dispel common myths about breast cancer and encourage you to schedule your annual mammogram.

My friend Kiki Nicole had breast cancer at a young age and she was a strong fighter, with her friends and family around her to encourage her and give her the support she needed. She was able to over come this. I want to give a big shout out to an amazing mother and wife Kiki from south Brunswick NJ
Janet thank you for sharing that. We agree that Kiki needs a huge shoutout!

It was devastating but years later, she is thankful that she healthy and Alive! She has been cancer free for years! It is important to get checked and all the women in family do just that!
