PRESS RELEASE: The Dominica Cancer Society Inc. is delighted that the men have begun responding to the call to join in the Breast Health Campaign, which is expected to be held in all seven (7) health districts in the Commonwealth of Dominica.

I’m glad there are so many people support breast cancer research and prevention! Regardless men or women, we should all support! I recently found something that we can all do to take precautions of breast cancer. It’s an app people can easily download onto their iPhones.
The Breast Heath GPS is an important app for all females to have! We’re all busy people. We’re always on the go. Why not plan ahead, find the nearest mammogram screening center and fit it in our schedule? Many people undermine the importance of regular health checks. This is important, and this app makes it easier for us to take care of our health! Check it out: http://appadvice.com/app/361840350
I, myself, think this is a fantastic app! I’ve been personally affected by breast cancer, so I’m a huge advocate, so please, take care of yourself!
