Breast cancer affects us all. According to the American Cancer Society, in the U.S. this year alone, approximately 232,670 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed, and about 40,000 women will die from breast cancer. It’s the second leading cause of cancer death in women (exceeded only by lung cancer) and the chance that breast cancer will be responsible for a woman’s death is about 1 in 36.
These alarming numbers are a big reason why so many products are attached to a BCA cause right now. Here are 10 fabulous, feel-good products that make it easy to shop for the cure:
