Have you recently been diagnosed with breast cancer or are you a breast cancer survivor?
Do you have questions that only someone who has been diagnosed or who has a personal experience with breast cancer may be able to answer?
Do you just need to talk to someone who has been there?
Do you want to hear from others who understand your journey?
The Breast Cancer Collaborative consists of health care providers, radiologists, breast surgeons, and advocates who have been working together to implement consistent recommendations and strategies in an effort to improve Nevada's breast cancer screening rates, decrease late-stage breast cancer diagnosis, and improve time from diagnosis to treatment. This event will discuss progress on previously determined barriers to breast cancer screening and brainstorming new areas for future work.
The Nevada CRC Collaborative is a statewide workgroup to address colorectal cancer and reduce barriers to screening in our state. The group will meet quarterly to network and address identified barriers, and report out to the Early Detection Task Force.
This is an online meeting via Zoom. Contact cassie@nevadcancercoalition.org to register.
The Survivorship Task Force is a partnership of individuals from across the health care continuum working together on topics related to survivorship for all cancer patients.
Current Task Force Objectives:
Task force objectives align with priorities set forth in the 2016-2020 Nevada Comprehensive Cancer Plan and those identified by partners within the state.

It’s that time of year again. Yes, it’s time for everything pumpkin spice. It’s also Breast Cancer Awareness Month, recognized every October to remind the community of the importance of screening for breast cancer.
Did you know that National Breast Cancer Awareness Month has been around since 1985? The American Cancer Society helped to start the campaign to promote breast cancer screening with mammography. A mammogram is an X-ray image of the breast. It can help to find cancers earlier when they are easier to treat.

There’s a lot to be said for following your gut instinct, especially when it comes to your health.
But when you’re a director of a neonatal intensive care unit who’s also in graduate school and also a wife and expectant mother, the path of least resistance when your healthcare provider tells you that a mole on your neck appears benign, that some moles change during pregnancy, that the removal of a benign mole will leave an unsightly scar, is to let it go.
