Please tell all the women in your life of childbearing age... breastfeeding can help prevent breast cancer. Studies show a significant decrease in risk. My name is Melissa and I have a 4-year-old son named Dakota. He has quadriplegic cerebral palsy. He's going to need me to be around for the long haul. So I am so glad I am breastfeeding his younger brother Emile and that I breastfed him also. In so doing, I am decreasing my risk of getting breast cancer.
Improving treatments and research are so important! But teaching woman what they can do about prevention is absolutely priceless!
I don't want to end up dying young of breast cancer like my father's sister did years ago.
