The National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) program is dedicated to increasing awareness about the importance of the early detection of breast cancer through a nationwide campaign. NBCAM started as a weeklong campaign in 1985 with two founding members. Today the YWCA Santa Monica / Westside is one of many organizations that support this effort. During October, which is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the YWCA joins forces to spread the message that early detection of breast cancer followed by prompt treatment saves lives. FREE PRESENTATION AND LUNCH! Join us on Tuesday, October 11 from 12 noon to 1:30 pm for lunch and a presentation on "Breast Thermography" - Breast Cancer Screening without any radiation or invasive proceedures. Thermography of the breast is an excellent early screening tool that shows physiologic changes associated with breast cancer that has been FDA approved since 1982. This is also an excellent screening tool for women under 40. Remember - Early dection is the best defense against breast cancer!
