Hi! I am a nurse and my county representative for Breast and Cervical cancer. I have found a really wonderful pamphlet for young women. It frankly discusses the risks, problems with screening and diagnosis as well as dealing with providers who say "We'll just watch the lump and see if it changes. You're too young to have BC"
It is free from the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. The Wyoming # to call to get free copies is 1-800-204-1332. If they don't send them out of state they will be able to give you numbers for your state. Just thought I'd share the info. Happy Thoughts! Beth

    Hello. My 21 year old daughter was just diagnosed with early stage cervical cancer. As a nurse, can you give me some encouragement?
