In conjunction with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, College Candy is tackling breast health for women in their 20s. Last week we talked about how to protect yourself against breast cancer before the age of 40 and how to join the fight against the disease. Today we’re honoring sexy vixens who kicked breast cancer ass and are continuing to bring awareness to the disease.
It’s important to remember that breast cancer does not discriminate. The American Cancer Society estimates 182,460 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed among women in the United States this year. Here’s a look at some well known faces who beat the disease and lived to tell about it.

I’m not a vegetarian, but I have a vegetarian boyfriend (and an aversion to all things Thanksgiving). I’m going to his parents’ house for the holidays this year and, luckily, they’re tolerant of nontraditional main dishes, so we’re going to experiment a little.
