Please help support me on Oct.1st as I walk in the Boston Brain Tumor Walk

Support My Fight Against Brain Tumors

Marie's Wings
Marie's walking feet to help save more lives team page

I am walking in honor of the many people in my life and friends' lives that we have lost due to brain tumors.

Most recently we lost Marie, my friend's mom & client of mine. I am walking with Team Marie's Walking Feet.

October 2010 an old friend lost his 6 year old niece Olivia to a brain tumor. http://www.myspace.com/livwellmoran

November 1997 we lost a good friend, Roger Maille, only 34 yrs old. 

I have joined this movement to bring the issue of brain tumors to the forefront. Progress is being made, but there is so much more to be done. Please support my efforts! Your support ensures this important work will continue.

Thank you!

Susan G. Komen for the Cure®

Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure®, we have invested more than $1.3 billion to fulfill our promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world. For more information about Susan G. Komen for the Cure, breast health or breast cancer, visit www.komen.org or call 1-877 GO KOMEN.

 Breast Cancer Facts and Statistics

Many changes occur in your breasts during your lifetime. It's important to understand which changes are normal and which are not. The first step is to learn about the structure of your breasts and how they function. This section of Understanding Breast Cancer provides basic information about breast health, breast cancer and other breast conditions.

Although breast cancer is more common in women, it also occurs in men. 

Early Detection and Screening

Getting regular screening tests is the best way for women to lower their risk of dying from breast cancer. Screening tests can find breast cancer early, when it's most treatable.

Standard breast cancer screening test for women: mammography (including digital mammography), MRI and clinical breast exam. 

In rare cases, breast cancer can occur in men. Because men have much less breast tissue compared to women, the screening tools discussed in this chapter are not routinely used for men. Learn more about male breast cancer.
