That's why we hope you'll join The Cancer Survivor's Breast Cancer M.A.P. (Mind Affects the Physical) Project, a new movement to identify and address the emotional social needs that accompany a breast cancer diagnosis. This registry of breast cancer survivors is a critical step in understanding the impact of breast cancer and ultimately discovering innovative ways to address them. Participating is easy. All it takes is two simple steps:
Help change the breast cancer experience for the millions of women who live it everyday. Register now at www.breastcancerregistry.org. Together, we can make a difference! Best, Jill Searle, Program Director The Wellness Community - Foothills
