Ignorance is not bliss - it's deadly.
Once a month, take your life into your own hands. Make a pact with all of the women in your life to remind each other to perform a breast self-exam once a month.
Breast cancer survival rates are much lower among women with low income and uninsured women.I was outraged by a story I read a couple of months ago about a woman named Debbie. Debbie discovered a lump in her breast. She was a hair stylist and rented an apartment near the salon she worked for. She didn't have medical insurance because she couldn't afford it on the income she made. She tried to get a mammogram and was denied becaused she made $500 dollars over poverty level. Debbie had to quit her job and move to a trailer that she rented for $200 a month. That's what Debbie had to do so that she could qualify for medical care as she was dying. Debbie died needlessly, due to a screening system that doesn't work. Help make sure this never happens to another uninsured woman.
