(ARA) - Breast cancer is the leading cause of death for women ages 40 to 59. This year alone, much than 200,000 women wish be diagnosed with the disease. Another 40,000 wish die from it. Even as tho'
early detection is critical to survival and every woman is at risk for developing the disease, new research shows the brobdingnagian majority of women do not discuss this issue with each other.
According to a recent survey authorised by WHEATABLES Around the bend and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, there is a surprising
lack of dialogue among women just about breast cancer risk and the importance of early detection. Sixty-five pct of women report they ne'er
or infrequently discuss breast cancer risk even as tho'
all but half report having a close personal experience (self, family or close friend diagnosed) with the disease. Seventy-three pct of mothers surveyed reportable they ne'er
or hardly ever discuss breast cancer, breast self-exams or mammograms with their daughters or granddaughters and 67 pct of the women surveyed aforementioned the same just about their mothers or stepmothers.
“These findings are astounding particularly because one in eight women are expected to develop breast cancer during their lifetime. Communication and language are critical to understanding the importance of early detection and adopting positive breast health practices,” aforementioned Susan Braun, president and CEO of the Komen Foundation.
In response, WHEATABLES Around the bend and the Komen Foundation have launched a public education initiative to encourage women to talk just about breast cancer. Called “Talk Just just about Breast Cancer - It’s a Language Worth Having,” the initiative is designed to help women -- and those who love them -- get the language going.
Special WHEATABLES Around the bend packaging carries pink Ribbons for Life and language starter tips, including:
* Do a monthly calendar note to call your mother, aunt, sister or female offspring
with a reminder to conduct a breast self-exam. * Enclose a note and a pink ribbon in birthday cards to female friends 40 years of age or older, reminding them to have a mammogram.
* Ask your doctor just about breast health activities at every appointment. Don’t wait for the doctor to ask you.
* Send a care package with how-to tips to young women at college or away from home; once a woman turns 20, she should begin conducting monthly breast self-exams and have a doctor or nurse examine her breasts every three years.
* Develop a “buddy” system with friends. Ask them to cue you on a regular basis
just about breast health activities and do the same for them.
* Share a cup of coffee, tea or cocoa and breast cancer facts with a friend: Breast cancer is the number one killer of women between the ages of 40 and 59; the majority of women who develop breast cancer had no family history of the disease; if breast cancer is detected early, a woman’s chances of survival improve significantly.
“Regular discussions that encourage breast health activities like monthly breast self-exams, annual clinical breast exams and mammograms can do a really real difference,” aforementioned Jenny Enochson, advocate for WHEATABLES Crackers. “That’s why we’re so committed to deed the language going.”
WHEATABLES Around the bend wish gift $5.00 to the Komen Foundation for every five ribbons clipped from its special packaging and sent in by customers. For much information just about the campaign, log onto www.ribbonsforlife.com.
