We hope you have a wonderful Holiday Season and a happy New Year!
|
Greetings!
For me, December always reminds me of the largest breast cancer conference of the year. I'll be attending the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium as a patient advocate and will learn about all the new medical advances in the treatment of breast cancer. I'll be reporting my findings in our January e-newsletter.
I was disappointed to learn about the US Preventative Services Task Force revised guidelines regarding mammograms. I've posted my opinion on the Pink-Link announcements page.
I hope you're feeling well. Here's to lots of joy, love and happiness during this holiday season and a very healthy New Year.
Sincerely,
Vicki Tashman Founder, Pink-Link
ps. Pink-Link continues to grow. We now have over 3,700 members across the country and internationally. We appreciate your support in spreading the word.
