Potpourri of Social Issues

National Breast Cancer Awareness Month’s purpose is to educate women about early cancer detection, diagnosis, and treatments for breast cancer.  Information is available at the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation has been making an impact in the world of breast cancer supporting research and clinical trials.  Susan’s story is quite interesting.  The methods of the foundation have quite a bit of notoriety.  Ever heard of “Race for the Cure”?

Another outstanding support foundation is Making Memories Breast Cancer.  In the vein of Make A Wish Foundation, it helps patients and families cope with these trying times.  More information, see our page below.

Finally, where should you look for support when you discover you have breast cancer?

Family, friends.  Your health care provider.  Cancer survivor, other programs including a web resource and toll free number.
