October is the month set aside for Breast Cancer Awareness. I have often struggled in my career with this topic. One thing in particular that has stood out to me is the large amounts of money that are collected that go toward research on breast cancer and cures. Don't get me wrong this is a good thing however, I personally have never donated to the "reactionary action" for this reason. I choose and have chosen to put my money in prevention and knowledge.

It takes into account concerns about insurance liability, family dynamics, and an individual's psychological needs. From the limited research, evidence suggests that for individuals in high-risk families it is more beneficial to know than not to know one's genetic status. Education and counseling may improve public perception about genetic testing for breast cancer."
