Cancer Awareness
 

 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.

Cancer can strike anyone; it is the second largest killer among us..

Topics that give AWARENESS to early detection of this disease can be discussed at Unit or County meetings under this program, as well as any group meeting in the community.

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.

A yearly visit to a doctor to have a Mammography done, as well as a Pap or Colon test is also very important to detect any early signs of possible cancer. Early detection is the best way to prepare for the best treatment in the early stages. Speak to your daughters, granddaughters, sister and friends. Encourage them to go to the doctor and offer your assistance in going if they need some support.

Try to encourage your husbands, sons, grandsons and brothers to also to 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.

  2. Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Buffalo
     

  3. Memorial Sloan Kettering Center, New York City
