phy services but also the latest and most accurate in breast health edu- cation. The BREASTCANCER.ORG Association provides very thorough information for females of all ages to use in living a healthy lifestyle in the pursuit of preventing breast cancer. Please take the time to read below and go to their website for the full facts . . . it could save a life.
Now is the time to reduce our risk
After decades of progress in improved diagnostics, better treat- ments, a deeper understanding of genetic risk factors, and stronger support networks, breast cancer still remains the most common cancer
in women. And what’s even more concerning: the overall incidence of breast cancer is projected to double globally by year 2040 and occur more frequently in younger women. Now, more than ever, we need to focus our efforts on finding ways to reduce the risk of breast cancer.
With so many lives at stake, we urgently need to provide girls and women with timely education about established lifestyle risk factors, as well as emerging environmental haz- ards that may also increase the odds of developing breast cancer. To suc- ceed, it’s going to take a movement— we call it Think Pink, Live Green.
“It’s critical for women and girls to learn what they need to know about how to reduce their risk of breast cancer so they can make the best choices in their everyday lives.” Marisa C. Weiss, M.D., Direc- tor of Breast Health Outreach and Breast Radiation Oncology, Lanke- nau Medical Center, President and Founder, Breastcancer.org
Think Pink, Live GreenTM There is a lot we all can do to help lower the risk of getting breast cancer. But first, we must be willing to rethink many everyday choices and change old habits. We have to be more careful about what we eat, drink, breathe, take, and use from the kitchen, pantry, cleaning shelf, and medicine chest. We also need to address our challenges: how much
side environment impacts the inside environment within our bodies.
Think Pink, Live GreenTM is your guide to help reduce your risk of de- veloping breast cancer. It is grounded in science and medicine, and deliv- ered in clear terms with easy-to-fol- low steps. We are certainly not start- ing from scratch. Think Pink, Live Green represents the results of ongo- ing research to identify both well-es- tablished and newly suspected breast cancer risk factors. Many of these factors can be reduced or modified by changing our daily lives. Every woman is at risk for breast cancer; some are more prone than others. But sometimes risk can be random. Even slim vegetarian yoga instructors with no family history get breast cancer. All of us need to take steps to lower our risk. Together, we can make great strides toward the goal of prevention.
The Women’s Center at Health- Center hopes that you will visit breastcancer.org and read the full information. And, we hope that you will schedule your mammogram NOW if it has been over 12 months and you are 40 years old or older. Call 406-751-9729. If you cannot af- ford a mammogram, please let Save a Sister help you by calling 406-751- 7524.
