breast cancer that brings hope for an increased recovery rate, along

an MRI of the breast can detect problems earlier than the traditional
mammogram and breast exam combination, particularly for younger women
with more aggressive forms of breast cancer.

to work with your doctor to create a personalized plan for care and
checkups based on your genetic health history and risk factors.

|  Beverly Vote: The Breast Cancer Wellness Magazine | Beverly Vote: The Breast Cancer Wellness Magazine was created to help meet the
emotional needs of women facing breast cancer. Beverly Vote, Creator
and Publisher, says “When I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age
of 38, I had no role model for healing. I didn't know what it took to
heal, what healing looked like, what healing felt like, or how to
create a wellness experience for myself. The only person I knew that
had cancer was my aunt, and she died of cancer at age 26. Thus at
first, I equated cancer with death sentence. I learned how truly
beneficial guided imagery is for healing, and I learned the difference
between a healing journey that was based on empowerment, versus
self-sabotage.” The magazine was created to help women and men
understand what they can do to empower their mind, body, and spirit for
a deeper healing experience. |
