One of the goals of this month is to raise awareness and advocacy for early and regular screenings with your healthcare provider as both of these cancers can go undetected for long periods of time. Often times symptoms don't show until advanced stages. Early diagnosis is key in the fight against both of these cancers. Take control of your health by scheduling your regular screenings.
