A Friendly Reminder

Manning is in the middle of producing a videotape for the American Cancer Society which seems like a good enough excuse to remind everyone that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The most important thing to remember is that when detected early breast cancer is 98% curable.  That’s right…98% curable!

Fortunately, the effort to get the word out has gone high-tech. This year Estee Lauder launched an online marketing campaign to spread the word to younger women via social media and networking sites. The Susan G. Komen Foundation has online tools and printable cards to help women with self-examinations and the American Cancer Society has an online sign-up form to remind someone you love to schedule a mammogram.
