October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. National Breast Cancer Awareness Month educates women about the importance of early detection. Since the program began in 1985, mammography rates have more than doubled for women age 50 and older and breast cancer deaths have declined. This is exciting progress, but there are still women who do not take advantage of early detection at all and others who do not get screening mammograms and clinical breast exams at regular intervals. Encourage the women in your life to get mammograms on a regular basis. For more resources in your area, visit the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month website or visit the American Cancer Society for information about breast cancer, treatment and prevention. Please click here for additional information.
Evergreen Washelli reflects on the many lives affected by Breast Cancer every day. The strides being made are remarkable, and yet, there is much work and research to do. Evergreen Washelli will donate the funds raised from our Think Pink event to the Passionately Pink for the Cure/Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation
First Steps: What to Do When Cancer is the Diagnosis
An Article By: Joseph Nowinski Oh, Ruth, I think this is a cancer. These were the words uttered by Dr. Hiram Cody, a breast cancer surgeon, after an initial physical examination of the wife of a fellow physician, Dr. Peter Bach. And with that simple statement, Dr. Bach wrote, Down into the tunnel Ruth and I stumbled, into the strange, dehumanizing, aching, opaque and misunderstood world of cancer doctors and cancer care. If the above captures the initial reaction of a trained physician, imagine what it is like for someone who has minimum knowledge or experience which is, obviously, the overwhelming majority of people.
