October
1st kicked off National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual international
health campaign to:
• Increase awareness of the disease
• Raise funds for research into the
cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure of the disease
• Offer the latest information and
additional support to those affected by breast cancer
While
most people are aware of breast cancer, many forget to take the steps to have a
plan to detect the disease in its early stages or to encourage others to do the
same. A lot of progress has been made but there is still a long way to go.
This
year, DreamTeamNetwork is supporting the cause and we hope you will too! We
have been dedicated to this cause for years and are proud to show our support
once again. Throughout the month of October, we will be posting a series of
blogs on topics related to breast cancer research, awareness, and other news.
A
major step you can take now in the fight against breast cancer is to learn more
about the disease. Do your research. Visit the websites of major and minor
breast cancer charities, research organizations and advocacy groups. Support
organizations that are inspiring change through education and awareness,
organizations such as the:
• National Breast Cancer Foundation
(www.nationalbreastcancer.org)
The
NBCF provides mammograms—a major diagnostic and screening tool used to detect
breast cancer early—for women in need.
• Breast Cancer Action
(www.bcaction.org)
The
breast cancer advocacy organization actively promotes discussions about the causes
and prevention of breast cancer.
• Out of the Shadow of Pink
(www.outoftheshadowofpink.com)
In
2009, this male breast cancer advocacy group, along with A Man’s Pink and the
Brandon Greening Foundation for Breast Cancer in Men, joined together to globally
establish the third week of October as “Male Breast Cancer Awareness Week.”
While occurrences of male breast cancer are rare and generally overlooked, they
do occur.
