Breast Cancer

[KathyBrown]

Hello Everyone...I can't begin to tell you all how much strength and courage I've seen in this forum. I'm fairly new to finding this community, but you all are truly amazing women.

I came across this site and wanted to share it with you as an additional resource and a way to raise awareness when it comes to early detection through mammography - it’s called ImagesofHealth.com. I actually just filled out a pledge for all the women in my family and I intend to remind them ALL about getting a yearly mammography.

As you know breast cancer emotionally and physically ravages 1 in 8 women. Early detection saves lives. The vast majority of women don’t perform a monthly self exam. Less than 14% of women actually do perform their monthly breast self-exams. Early detection is one of the keys to survival. Discovering a lump early while it is still small can make a difference between having chemotherapy or not having chemotherapy
