Welcome to the first newsletter of this BCERP grant –which brings together scientists and breast cancer survivors in a group dedicated to finding cures and preventions for the greatest killer of women, breast cancer (BCa). We hope you will enjoy our newsletter format which is unique, in that it brings together personal stories, scientific breakthroughs, a little humor, relaxing activities, great recipes and “food” for thought.
Our inboxs (email) are always open to your comments and suggestions as we strive to improve our translation of science into usable information, and be responsive to your questions and concerns. Share our URL with friends and family.
The research aspects of this group represent the long-stainding efforts of Dr. Shuk-mei Ho and colleagues to unravel the issues surrounding environment – gene intereactions in cancer and discovering ways to prevent cancer.
Pink Ribbon Girls was founded when Tracie Metzger and Dawn Harvey realized there was no specific group for young women dealing with breast cancer. Through this non-profit organization, young women are offered education and awareness for early detection, support and an outlet to express fears.
