We have all directly and indirectly been affected by cancer. Breast cancer is such a beast and I know so many women who have battled, struggled, and survived. It takes a strong woman to deal with this disease--she also needs a tribe of people around her to help her feel loved, encouraged and hopeful. In my line of work, I get to shine light on the best of the best products. While you're shopping this month, take a second look at these amazing products below that are making a dent and a difference for everyone affected by breast cancer.
