How to Help Lisa Leslie greets fans at the Sears WNBA Breast Health Awareness booth during All-Star Summer Jam. The Sears WNBA Breast Health Awareness program is designed to further increase awareness about the importance of early detection of breast cancer and to raise funds needed to inform, educate and screen women all over the country. In turn, life-saving exams will be provided to women who cannot either afford or access them. Be an ambassador by encouraging the women in your life to take good care of their breast health and by sharing the information about good breast health strategies with them.
Every woman is at risk for breast cancer.
That's why it's important to learn how to take charge of your health and follow a good breast health program. When found early, breast cancer can be treated successfully. About 97 percent of women treated for early-stage breast cancer are alive five years later, and most can be treated without losing their breasts. Become familiar with your breasts and examine them once every month. Many women, especially young women, have lumpy breasts.
