The Toledo Journal ran a nice article about Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the hope for a better treatment or cure for the disease."For all women, breast cancer awareness month should serve as a reminder to keep up with monthly self-examinations and to visit your doctor for regular mammograms to help promote early detection. Mammograms – an x-ray picture of the breast – are the best way to find out if you have breast cancer because they can show cancer when it’s too small for you or your doctor to feel."
A recent survey by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America found that pharmaceutical research and biotechnology companies are testing a record 861 new cancer medicines and vaccines, including 112 for breast cancer.
Those who need help accessing their prescription medicines can turn to the Partnership for Prescription Assistance, which has helped connect nearly 6 million patients in need.
