Army of Women and Breast Cancer

If you are a woman, and even if you’re not, you must realize that October is Breast Cancer awareness month. There is no question strides have been made in the improvement of treatment of breast cancer. But prevention, early diagnosis, are still issues. Dr. Love, one of the foremost breast cancer oncologists today, has done much in the production of these improvements in care and treatment related to breast cancer. Now, she wants the women of the world, to enlist in finding out the cause of this deadly disease that is predominent in women. Thus, she has created the army of women. I have joined. I am lucky that I have never had breast cancer and it does not run in my family. But it does not have to run in your family to get this.  Join this army now. We must find the cause of this disease. It costs you NOTHING and may mean EVERYTHING to all women, all ages. Here is more information:

“The Army of Women is dedicated to representing ALL women in research so that the research results will apply to ALL women. This means we need you to help us recruit women of all ages, ethnicities, sizes, and shapes. We need women who have had breast cancer and women who have not. We need African American women, Asian women, white women, Latinas, and lesbians to be involved.
You can do your part to help us spread the word about the Army and reach our goal of one million women by:

* Emailing an invitation to your friends and family members to join the Army. Send an email today!
* Inviting your church, school, professional organization, social group, or sorority, to join the Army. Email us for more information about group affiliations.
* Using our “Share/Send to a Friend” feature to let friends or family members know about information we have on our site that might interest them.
* Forward emails you receive from the Army to family members and friends.
* Talk to your friends and family members about the Army and the studies you take part in.

Join me and millions of other women in this army to stamp out breast cancer in our lifetime. Go to www.armyofwomen.org NOW! Spread the word.
