Early Act - Lets Follow Suit!

In the US yesterday, breast cancer survivor, and congresswoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz introduced a bill, being called the Early Act, that would direct the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to develop a national campaign to boost awareness among women younger than 40, including encouraging early detection.

She called for greater awareness of breast cancer among younger women, and in revealing her own battle with breast cancer she said, " It is my hope that by sharing my story, we will pass the (bill) and further reduce the death rate of young women diagnosed with breast cancer." "We have to ensure that every young woman can rely on more than just luck."

Younger Women Need Greater Awareness

Here in Australia, we have an appalling lack of knowledge and awareness in younger women, of the numerous factors potentially associated with developing breast cancer, and an even greater lack of knowledge that there are ways to monitor ongoing breast health, other than just through the use of mammograms.

Within the medical fraternity it's well known that mammograms are not particularly effective on women under 40, due to density of breast tissue. What is quite amazing is that no one seems to appreciate the value of Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging ( DITI ) as a tool for early detection of changes in breast tissue, in younger women, and the message needs to get out!

Women need to start spreading the word, at a grassroots level, about the value of DITI, and the bonus that it's non-invasive, painless and RADIATION free!

With more women now entering politics at the highest levels of office, here in Australia, surely it's time to take this message to them, and see if we can also effect change, and create our very own 'Early Act' and get DITI on the map!
