"SELF's annual Breast Cancer Handbook is devoted to helping women spend less of their life worrying about the disease and more time actually trying to prevent it. We published the first handbook 15 years ago, and the year after that, editor Alexandra Penney created the pink ribbon for awareness and teamed up with Evelyn Lauder to give them out at every Est\u00E9e Lauder beauty counter.\\n\\nToday, there is plenty you can do beyond self exams and mammograms to stay healthy, like eat well, exercise and moderate the cocktails (sorry!). This year's handbook will arm you with the facts you need. Our goal: to inform you, so you can stop all that worrying and start living the healthy life your mind, body and breasts deserve.\\n\\n#### Test your breast cancer IQ.\\n\\nFind out how much you really know about keeping your breasts safe.
