Pause for the Cause – Friends for Life!

Breast Cancer is the most common cancer for Women — and the second most deadly. The American Cancer Society estimates more than 200,000 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed each year

One in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. If breast cancer is detected and treated before it spreads to the lymph nodes and other parts of the body, the chance of a cure is greater than 85 percent! The likelihood of successful treatment is greatest when breast cancer is detected early, which is why Finger Candy Media and Model Supplies want to remind you to “Pause for the Cause and call your Friends for Life!”

Finger Candy Media, ModelSupplies and The Ciao Bella Blog want to remind friends, family and followers to take part in routine mammograms and breast examinations by your physician, and at home.

What is Pause for the Cause?

Pause for the Cause is a simple alert tweet that encourages all followers to recognize that breast self-examination (BSE) is just one part of a very important three-part program for the early detection of breast cancer. The reminder will be sent, and you will be encouraged to do your own BSE, then remind your friends, family and followers to do theirs.

The three-part program: physician examination, routine screening mammography, and breast self-examination, is recommended by major national health organizations including the American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Pause for the Cause will send a simple reminder to do a Breast Self-Exam (BSE) on the 9th of each month.
