October 18, 2012 | Making Strides Against Breast Cancer
Making Strides set for October 28 The American Cancer Society is the leader in the fight to end breast cancer. But it’s not about us; it’s about you: Everyone who has ever walked in Making Strides Against Breast Cancer® or supported the event. That’s because the American Cancer Society is putting your dollars to work now – doing the most to help people with breast cancer today in every community and working tirelessly to find cures to end the disease tomorrow.
Helping women stay well and get well
One in every 2 women newly diagnosed with breast cancer reaches out to the American Cancer Society for help and support. We are in every community, providing free information and services when and where people need it. If you need someone to talk with at 3 a.m. (or any other time of the day or night), we’re here. If your friend is losing her hair because of chemo, your mother needs a ride to treatment, or if a loved one needs a place to stay while in treatment away from home, we are the ones who can help.
Finding breast cancer’s causes and cures
The American Cancer Society invests more in research to find, prevent, treat, and cure cancer than any other non-governmental organization. Unlike some organizations that support only breast cancer research, we also fund research to find cures for all types of cancer, because we know that discoveries in one area can often help find answers in another. As a result, we’ve played a role in nearly every major breast cancer research breakthrough in recent history, including establishing mammography as the standard for breast cancer screening, discovering lifesaving treatments, and better understanding factors that can reduce our risk of getting breast cancer.

Fighting for all women
We know that finding breast cancer early, when it is easiest to treat, can mean the difference between life and death. So, we provide screening guidelines, educate the public and health
care professionals, and help ensure access to mammograms for women who need them. The progress
we’re making because of Making Strides supporters is nothing short of remarkable. But it’s no time to rest.
We must redouble our efforts. More walkers mean the next big breast cancer research breakthrough. More walkers mean free lodging and transportation for breast cancer patients going through treatment. When more walkers raise money to fight breast cancer, there will be more survivors able to celebrate more birthdays. Join us in the fight
to end breast cancer forever. The journey to end breast cancer starts with a single step. Take that step with us at our American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk in Columbus. Just a few hours of your time will help bring a lifetime of change for people facing breast cancer and their families.
How Making Strides is saving lives in Franklin County Last year in Franklin County, 150 women were diagnosed with breast cancer. About one in two received free information and services from the American Cancer Society, the following services are examples of programs that were
utilized by Franklin County residents. • Look Good…Feel Better® taught female patients how to improve their self-image through beauty techniques to manage the side effects of cancer treatments.
• Reach to Recovery®, a peer to peer breast cancer support program , connected patients with other survivors. • Rides to and from breast cancer treatment appointments were provided through Road to Recovery®, a vol-
unteer driver program. • Free wigs were given to women to cope with hair loss as a treatment side effect.
If you have cancer and need information, help with day-to-day needs, or emotional support, please call the American Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345 or visit cancer.org.
Cancer Prevention Study 3 (CPS-3) This year, central Ohio has a unique opportunity to make an impact in the fight against cancer. In addition to forming a team, fundraising and walking in an event, central Ohioans have an additional way to participate in the fight against cancer. The American Cancer Society will be enrolling participants in Cancer Prevention Study-3 at the Making Strides walk. As part of enrollment, individuals who choose to participate will simply fill out a comprehensive survey packet about health history, provide a small blood sample (to be collected by trained phlebotomists) and provide a waist measure. Enrollment will take approximately 20-30 minutes at your local event. From that point forward, study participants will be followed over time to update information via periodic, mailed surveys. Your involvement in CPS-3 will help American Cancer Society researchers understand the causes
of, and ultimately determine ways to prevent cancer. Who is eligible to participate? Anyone who is between 30 and 65 years old, who has never been diagnosed with cancer (this does not include basal or squamous cell skin cancers), and who is willing to make a long-term commitment to the study, which involves completing a followup survey every few years. To learn more about CPS-3 or to participate in the study call 1-888-604-5888 or visit cancer.org/cps3

Survivor stories
Judy Paul volunteers at Discovery Join volunteer Katherine Slaughter Shop to help create a world with as she walks to fight breast cancer Come and walk with volunteers like less cancer and more birthdays Katherine Slaughter, 75, of ColumJudy Paul, 74, of Hilliard, has volunteered at the American Cancer Society Discovery Shop, an upscale resale shop, for twelve years. “I never thought that one day I would need the kind services of the organization I have supported for so many years,” Paul said. She went in for an annual mammogram in 2011. “A day or so afterwards, I received the phone call all women dread – a positive result. At first I didn’t believe it,” Paul said. “I was a nurse and serious illness is what happened to my patients – not to me. I went for a second opinion and yes, the diagnosis was correct.” “The good news is that because I faithfully had my annual screening the cancer was small, noninvasive and fairly easily removed,” Paul enthused. “I will be taking Femara (a drug to inhibit estrogen) for five years, but I feel good, I feel reassured and I feel grateful that early detection helped me to survive breast cancer.” Paul and dozens of volunteers like her operate the Discovery Shop, supporting the American Cancer Society’s mission to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. Meet some of our volunteers and check out great deals at the Discovery Shop, located at Kenny Centre Mall, near the intersection of Kenny and Old Henderson Roads in Upper Arlington. Shop, donate

My only option was a radical mastectomy, which caused lymphedema,” Slaughter said. “I remember being terrified. I had planted red tulip bulbs and thought – I may never see those flowers pop up. They have come up faithfully every year to remind me that I made it another year.” Slaughter fought back by volunteering for the American Cancer Society’s Katherine Slaughter, 75, of Reach to Recovery program, connectColumbus is a 27-year survivor ing newly diagnosed women with of breast cancer. trained breast cancer survinumber joined my “I want to encourage vors for help team.
