According to
breast cancer Action, there is no prevention, there is no cure, and
breast cancer
knows no boundaries. In addition, the organization states that mammograms do not prevent cancer; that the lack of
medical insurance and poor access to treatment is the cause of decreasing survival rates; and we are constantly exposed
to an environment saturated with cancer-causing toxins.
Frustrated by inadequate, superficial
breast cancer
data and research offered by government agencies and other organizations, a group of San Francisco Bay Area women got
together and formed
breast cancer Action, a grassroots organization of breast
cancer survivors and their supporters. Activism and advocacy, with an interest in answers leading to true prevention
and a true cure for
breast cancer, are at the heart of their organization. The bad girls of
breast cancer are pushing
to make
breast cancer a national priority, to empower women and men to fully participate in decisions relating to
breast cancer, and are calling for a refocusing of research into the causes, treatment, cure and prevention of breast
cancer. In the U.S., a woman is diagnosed with invasive
breast cancer every three minutes.
