Congratulations on being a breast cancer survivor! Breast cancer affects one in approximately eight women in America and because of improved surveillance and treatment there are more than 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the United States.

Breast cancer does affect men, so they too should be vigilant if any masses form in their breast.

Brilliant Venus glows lower in the northwest and sets by nightfall. Capella guides Auriga, Charioteer, lower in the northwest. The Big Dipper hangs in the north. Its “bowl” faces Polaris, North Star.
