A Resource About Breast Cancer: National Awareness Month
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The statistics may be frightening, for one out of every eleven women will
develop breast cancer during her lifetime, but early detection is the key to
successful treatment. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month,
expanding the formally one week of activities to an entire month. Under the
umbrella of the National Alliance of Breast Cancer Organizations, the events
are cosponsored by the American Academy of Family Physicians, as well as The
American Cancer Society, American College of Radiology, National Cancer Care
Foundation, National Cancer Institute, Susan G. Komen Foundation for the
Advancement of Breast Cancer Research, and the ICI Pharmaceuticals Group,
which is providing funds for this effort. You would be wise to request the
newly revised booklet "Breast Cancer; Your Best Protection. . . Early
Detection" by sending a stamped, self addressed business envelope to the
National Alliance of Breast Cancer Organizations, P.O. Box 4333, Grand Central
Station, New York, NY 10063. You may also ask the Alliance to send you their
other materials developed to help inform you about Breast Cancer, and help you
avoid its more serious complications.

The material contained here is "FOR INFORMATION ONLY" and should not replace
the counsel and advice of your personal physician. Promptly consulting your
doctor is the best path to a quick and successful resolution of any medical
problem.
