AMOREM is on Your Team in the Fight Against Breast Cancer
October is breast cancer awareness month, and AMOREM is a valuable partner in the fight against breast cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society, about one in eight women (13%) in the United States will develop breast cancer during their lifetime. Whether you or someone you love is fighting breast cancer, that fight needs all the resources available.
EARLY DETECTION SAVES LIVES! The American Cancer Society recommends that all women at average risk start annual mammograms around age 40.
UNDERSTAND TREATMENT CHOICES. If you are diagnosed with breast cancer, talk with your provider to determine the best treatment for your specific condition.
FIND AN EXTRA LAYER OF SUPPORT. In addition to the support of family and friends, AMOREM’s palliative medicine program can bring an extra layer of support as part of your care team. Palliative medicine helps manage symptoms as you seek treatment—but it’s more than that. AMOREM’s palliative medicine enhances quality of life for patients and families, helps prevent frequent hospitalizations, supports patients in managing complex illnesses, empowers individuals through education and guidance and assists with important healthcare decisions and completing medical forms.
