Breast cancer awareness month

As usual, in October, the United States as always prepared to carry the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

In the past year, as quoted voanews.com, U.S. President Barack Obama announced on the Twitter social networking site that the president's residence would be bathed in pink light on this evening to mark October as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Obama earlier this month signed a proclamation for breast cancer awareness month, which is one of the many public efforts in the U.S. in October to fight the disease. Last year, a giant pink ribbon hung outside the White House.

American Cancer Society said that in America there are about 40 thousand deaths from breast cancer every year. World Health Organization or WHO said, each year breast cancer claimed 519,000 lives worldwide
