1-800-GET -THIN (SM) is a Proud Supporter of Breast Cancer Awareness

BEVERLY HILLS, CA, May 27, 2011 (Press-News.org) On October 18, 2010, 1-800-GET-THIN announced that they had joined forces with the Lifetime Network throughout the month of October, teaming up in support of Breast Cancer Awareness. The ultimate goal of the Breast Cancer Awareness campaign is to emphasize the importance of self-examinations as well as professional breast examinations and encourage them to be proactive with their health care.

It is also important for women to be educated and aware of the signs and symptoms that could indicate a health problem. When cancer is detected earlier, there may be a better chance of successful treatment for the patient.

Throughout the entire month of October, 1800GETTHIN gave away Breast Cancer Awareness items, including pink ribbons, bumper stickers for vehicles, and informational leaflets about breast cancer to all its staff members and patients. 1-800-GET-THIN and the Lifetime Network would like to encourage you to keep the pathways of communication open between you and your primary health care provider and talk about the different ways in which you can take steps to be more proactive against breast cancer.

You can be your own best advocate, be informed, and be there for those you love.
