For the last nineteen years, the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) Board of Sponsor members have been working collectively to "Pass the Word" throughout the country that early detection of breast cancer saves lives. This year, they are depending on the general public to join in this national effort to "Pass the Word" to as many women as possible.
NBCAM offers several ways to "Pass the Word" this October on their website www.nbcam.org . In addition, the website contains several sources of more information about the importance of early detection.

Some peace of mind that lets you Focus on the fight...
For just pennies a day, many people own Cancer Insurance policies to supplement other medical insurance they may have. These policies will pay benefits directly to you, the insured (unless assigned), and can be used to help your family pay for expenses you would most likely incur when undergoing cancer treatment.
The benefits from this insurance can be used to cover things like lost income, childcare expenses, extraordinary housekeeping expenses, special diets, even meals and lodging away from home. It's peace of mind at a time when your mind needs to be focused on getting better.
