Throughout
October, DreamTeamNetwork will be posting a series of blogs on topics dealing
with breast cancer awareness, research and other news in support of National
Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM). We are proud to show our support for
this cause and hope you will too!
As
the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month campaign marks another year, it may
sometimes appear dated and unnecessary. For the advocates however, the need for
more breast cancer awareness, research and better care hasn’t waned. Patients
may have different needs and advocates different styles but patients also need
support and researchers funds.
As
a global community, we all can benefit from a special reminder that breast
cancer has no cure and cannot be ignored. It is a disease that over 520,000
people worldwide and 40,000 people in the United States, mainly woman but not
exclusively so, die from each year.
So,
maybe what is needed this October then is a new kind of breast cancer awareness
about details, such as the following:
• There are some parts of the world,
including a few U.S. communities, where a stigma about having cancer endures.
The existence of the NBCAM campaign may just lead a few women who are hesitant
about seeking out care for breast tumors to go and get it.
• For some people affected with breast
cancer, cheerful walks and other activities organized for NBCAM provide an
opportunity to find solidarity and support.
• Too many people are wrestling with
serious diseases year-round, not only breast cancer but other cancers and
diseases as well. For all the good intentions and enthusiasm that NBCAM brings
together, a heartening vibe sometimes runs counter to the overwhelming nature
of the disease.
To
take action and make a difference, consider supporting National Breast Cancer
Foundation (www.nationalbreastcancer.org) or one of the many other
organizations fighting against this deadly cancer.
