“Supporting the fighters, admiring the survivors, honoring the taken, and never giving up hope.”

It is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month; which gives us a chance to raise awareness about the importance of detecting breast cancer early.  Other than skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women.  Most breast cancers are found in women who are 50 years old or older, but breast cancer also affects younger women.  Let’s make a difference together and use this opportunity to spread the word.  You can start by talking to your doctor about the importance of getting screened for breast cancer, why women over the age of 40 should get mammograms and why it is so important to continue as you age.  Did you know Island Doctors has two gynecologists?  Dr. Quinn, Dr. Collazo, or any of our doctors will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.  Call today to make an appointment 877-434-4676.  To learn more about breast cancer and how to detect early signs visit www.nationalbreastcancer.org.
