Cancer_Awareness
The risk of developing many types of cancer can be reduced by practicing healthy lifestyle habits, such as eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise and not smoking. Also the sooner a cancer is found and treatment begins, the better the chances are that the treatment will be successful. Your friendly reminder from The Breast Cancer Site: Help save lives today with the gift of early detection! Simply click the pink button at The Breast Cancer Site to help provide free mammograms to underprivileged women. WOMEN: Should do a
self-examination on a monthly basis of your breast for any abnormal
feelings, like a small lump. If found, this should be checked out with your
doctor as soon as possible. Men should also go for checkups. If they are smokers a yearly chest X ray is important, especially if a persistent cough is present. The test for prostate and colon should be done, as early detection can save your life! A new technology is discovered every day. Our hope is for a cure in the future. A Unit, County, or District fundraiser for Cancer research could be held. The receipts can be sent to your County Treasurer and in turn she will forward to the Department Office. Be sure to earmark what hospital you wish your donation to be sent.
