This could have been your grandma, mother,

or sister….

Her mother had Breast Cancer which put her at a greater risk of developing the cancer

She also consumed two or more alcoholic beverages a day which increased her Breast Cancer risk

Elizabeth could have detected the cancer right away by giving a

breast self-examination for any lumps or masses…

OrShe could have listened to her

body and went to the doctor when she noticed a new pain in ONE spot that didn’t go away

If Elizabeth would have limited her alcohol, controlled her weight, and involved herself in physical activity

she could have SURVIVED!!!!!!!

She also could have seeing her only son get married…

And have that Mother-Son dance she always dreamed

of...
