1 IN 8 WOMEN.
That's how many women in the United States are expected to develop breast cancer during their lifetime.
Let that sink in.
According to the American Cancer Society, approximately 321,910 women are expected to be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in 2026.
That's hundreds of thousands of women whose lives may change with one diagnosis.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and while we talk about mammograms, early detection, and supporting those fighting this disease, there's another conversation I want to start.
What happens financially when a diagnosis changes everything?
The missed work.
The medical bills.
The everyday expenses that don't stop.
The financial stress on your family.
Did you know certain life insurance policies offer living benefits that may provide access to money during a qualifying serious illness?
Throughout October, I'll be sharing information about how life insurance can help protect you while you're living, not just after you're gone.
Because awareness is important. But so is preparation.
Follow along this month. You might learn something that could make a difference for your family.
