mass. Breast cancer is best treated successfully when detected
in an early stage of the disease. Being diagnosed with the
disease isn't necessarily a death sentence.
Today, there are many treatment options available with
early detection. Lumpectomy (surgical removal of the cancerous
lump), mastectomy (removal of entire breast), chemotherapy
or hormore therapy are the leading treatments. The fiveyear
survival rate for breast cancer is 84 percent, but it increases
with early detection.
For more information about breast cancer, visit the Health
and Wellness Open Door table at the Russell House Patio, from
10 a.m. to 3 p.m.Oct. 21, or call 777-8248.
