HOW CAN I Help?

Because breast cancer has such effective treatments available during stage one, the biggest problem with breast cancer is simply not knowing! You can help in two ways - education and diagnosis.

Breast Cancer Education

Education

  1. Get the facts on breast cancer including self-exams, warning signs, and more at www.knowyourlemons.com and sbi-online.org

  2. Sign up for your mammogram here! It is usually completely paid for by your insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid and is the best way to catch breast cancer early! 

  3. Join the mission on social media for easy-to-share factoids and start sharing with your friends and family!

 
 
 
Breast Cancer Diagnosis

Diagnosis

  1. Mammograms are the best tool for early detection, so let’s get your mammogram scheduled by clicking here. Fortunately, mammograms are readily available and almost always covered as a free service by your insurance or healthcare plan. Need to know if it’s free? Click here! 

  2. Get signed up for a mammogram reminder here or through the Know Your Lemons app on your smartphone. This way you’ll never forget to get your mammogram and you can catch breast cancer early. (As for reminders we may need to create a form for the patient to sign, with an authorization for this request...our current EMR doesn’t do Mammo reminders but we’re looking at other EMR’s currently that would likely have this feature).

  3. Nag your friends and family about getting a mammogram. You could end up (and have a 1 in 8 chance of) saving a life!
