October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 10/04/2011
Breast Cancer effects millions of women and their families every year. About 1 in 8 women in the United States (12%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. The Susan G. Coleman Foundation has developed a calender of events to encourage involvement, support, and education during October. This month is to bring awareness to ways to prevent, diagnose early, and treat breast cancer, so that our mothers, daughters, sisters, and wives can live longer and healthier lives. Please take this month to schedule your yearly health exam (Women AND Men). If money is what keeps you from making your appointment, check with your insurance agent, most health plans fully cover preventive health screenings. You can also ask about specific cancer policies to give you more protection and coverages if you or a family member becomes sick. For more information about Breast Cancer visit the Susan G. Coleman Foundation and The American Cancer Society. For information on local Cancer Support Groups Please Call 731-668-1668 Comments Your comment will be posted after it is approved. Leave a Reply |
