Recognizing the Importance of Breast Cancer Awareness
Date:10/1/2009

estyle factor that has a clear link to breast cancer. Women who drink two to five drinks per day are considered to have one and a half times the risk than women who don't drink. As a result, the ACS urges women to limit alcohol to one drink per day.

Women can also control exposure to artificial estrogen, which is used in oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy used to treat post-menopausal complications. Talk to your doctor before starting or stopping any type of medication or treatment.

Support the Cause for a Cure
On Sunday, October 4, thousands of people, including BCBSMA associates, will show their support by participating in the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. Each walker helps to provide hope to millions of people nationwide whose lives have been forever changed by this disease.

Proceeds from the walk are used to support efforts such as breast cancer research, and to provide free services for patients. Currently, the American Cancer Society has 26 breast cancer research grants in effect in Massachusetts, totaling more than $11.1 million. Fundraising dollars also help fund the ACS's Hope Lodge®, which provides free lodging for cancer patients and their caregivers traveling out of state for treatment.
For more information about the event visit the American Cancer Society's Web site at www.cancer.org.
