resqme, Inc. is proud to work with the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) this October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Part of the NBCF’s mission is to increase awareness through “education, providing diagnostic breast care services for those in need, and providing nurturing support services.”
According to the NBCF, “When breast cancer is detected early, in the localized stage, the 5-year survival rate is 98%*” One major aspect of the NBCF is encouraging women to create an Early Detection Plan. Part of that plan is to understand the following:
1.) Recognize Signs and Symptoms
2.) Learn How to Perform a Breast Self-Exam
3.) Schedule Regular Clinical Breast Exams with Your Healthcare Professional
4.) Have Regularly Scheduled Mammograms
6.) Develop an Early Detection Plan
resqme, Inc. encourages you to develop your own Early Detection Plan and encourage your friends, coworkers, and loved ones to do the same. Saving lives starts with preparation. To make your own, visit: http://www.earlydetectionplan.org/
