Monthly Contest

I was contacted by C.S. Bioscience, who has made Revitin Oral therapy toothpaste a few years ago. It's only been available to consumers through dentists but now a new website has launched and consumers have the opportunity to buy it online. The toothpaste has helped people going through chemotherapy because of it's healing powers for mouth sores. You can read a testimonial about the toothpaste.

C.S. Bioscience has donated 5 tubes of Revitin Oral therapy toothpaste. To enter the contest, please send me an email and describe the following, "Is or was there 1 product that helps or helped you during your treatment?" All entries will be placed in a bowl and winners will be chosen at the beginning of September. Your name and email address will be shared with C.S. Bioscience.

Weight & Breast Cancer

Women who are obese continue to have higher levels of estrogen than women of normal weight even after treatment with hormone-suppressing drugs, raising the possibility that they might benefit from changes to their treatment.

Accelerated Radiation Treatment

Accelerated whole breast irradiation after lumpectomy is an effective treatment for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), a very common early stage and noninvasive form of breast cancer, meaning many more breast cancer patients could see their treatment times reduced by half, according to a study in the International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics.

Greetings!

I hope your summer is going well and you're staying cool! This is a photo of our new puppy, Georgia! She's a Golden Retriever and a very sweet dog. My household has been crazy but we're definitely falling in love!

I've been working hard planning our next fundraising event, Tea for Tatas on September 30th at Raleigh Studios in Hollywood, CA. I'd love to see you at the event and you can register by clicking on the flyer below. All funds raised will further our community outreach program so all breast cancer survivors know about Pink-Link and can get the help and support they need while going through treatment. All donations are appreciated greatly!

I hope to see you at the event! If you have any questions, or need further information, please let me know.

Sincerely,
