Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on resolution recognizing the month of October as "Breast Cancer Awareness Month".
Background
Women young and old are diagnosed with breast cancer. It has impacted many of our families, including some of our Williamson County family. In 2019, it was estimated that 17,921 Texas women would be diagnosed with breast cancer. An estimated 3,213 were expected to die from it. Breast cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in Texas women. It is important for women to receive annual breast screenings, as the likelihood of survival drastically improves if the disease is discovered early during Stage-1.
