Believe it or not, breast cancer is an ancient disease and was rarely discussed and even considered taboo.  Since the 1990's, the support, activism, and the pink ribbon has been central to the fight against breast cancer.  Learn about why the activism within breast cancer is so successful and what this movement can look forward to in the future.
