Making Strides set for October 28The 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.

SAVE THE DATE

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 ex-amples 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 appoint-ments 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 im-pact 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 Soci-ety 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 col-lected by trained phlebotomists) and provide a waist measure.

Enrollment will take approximately 20-30 minutes at your local event. From that point forward, study par-ticipants 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? Any-one who is between 30 and 65 years old, who has never been diagnosed with cancer (this does not include basal or squamous cell skin can-cers), and who is willing to make a long-term commitment to the study, which involves completing a follow-up 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

Judy Paul, 74, of Hilliard, has volun-teered 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 organi-zation I have supported for so many years,” Paul said.

She went in for an annual mammo-gram 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, sup-porting 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 inter-section of Kenny and Old Henderson Roads in Upper Arlington. Shop, donate

gently-used, quality items, or volunteer to help create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. All proceeds of the shop fund the Society’s mission to help you stay well, help you get well, to find cures, and to fight back. Check out the Discovery Shop table at the Making Strides walk or visit the shop Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is open until 8 p.m. on Wednesdays for shoppers. You can also check out the Discovery Shop-Columbus on Face-book.

Join volunteer Katherine Slaughter as she walks to fight breast cancer

Come and walk with volunteers like Katherine Slaughter, 75, of Colum-bus. Katherine is a 27-year survivor of breast cancer.

“Beating breast cancer is hard. Back in 1985, we didn’t know a lot. I didn’t have an oncologist – I had a general surgeon. My only option was a radical mastectomy, which caused lymph-edema,” 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 volunteer-ing for the American Cancer Society’s Reach to Recovery program, connect-ing newly diagnosed women with trained breast cancer survi-vors for help and hope. She was on clini-cal trials for Tamoxifen, a now common-ly-prescribed drug to block estrogen and reduce the risk of breast cancer coming back.

“I was so excited when Columbus held its first Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. I was there the very first year with a team from my church. I’ve been there nearly every year since, other then three years where I was caring for my husband during his fight with lung cancer,” Slaughter said.

“Everyone at my church saw me in my battle with breast cancer. So when I asked for their help, they listened. A

number joined my team. Signing up online was easy!” Slaughter en-thused. “We found a variety of ways to raise money, from just asking for donations to bake sales to selling fresh fruits and vegeta-bles.”

“I want to en-courage everyone here, especially the young people, to go and start a team to-day. Dealing with a cancer diagnosis is hard. But this – this is easy. And it can make a difference in so many people’s lives. Think of how much better breast

cancer treatment is today than when I was diagnosed. That difference is because of American Cancer Society research. We can make it even better – just by walking this October at COSI!” Slaughter declared.

“It’s been a joy of my life to fight cancer,” Slaughter said.
