Helping Other Women

Anonymous

I'm sure a lot of you already know about this site, but for those that don't please check out-

thebreastcancersite.com

By clicking every day you can help provide mammograms for women who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford them.   It costs you nothing.  It is paid for by the advertisers on the site.

There are also many petitions you can sign pertaining to breast cancer legislation.  The site sends the petitions to the appropriate politician.  There is a petition to stop insurance companies from discriminating against women by charging higher rates.  There is another to stop "drive through" mastectomies where insurance companies say how long a woman can stay in the hospital after a mastectomy and putting this decision back in the hands of the patient and their doctor.  There are many other petitions as well.

There is also some great breast cancer merchandise and the proceeds help women as well.

I hope you'll check it out.  It only takes a few seconds a day.  There are so many women who do not have insurance and therefore don't have mammograms.  By the time their cancer is detected there is a much greater chance it will be invasive.  I figure if this only helps one woman it would be worth it.

Thanks!
