Dear CSC,
The White House is concerned about our health and is asking everyone to take steps that could save our lives and the lives of our loved ones. Today, we, at Cancer Support Community Arizona, are answering that call to action and invite you to join us. There are a number of cancers that can be detected through routine screenings, however, studies show that nearly 10 million routine cancer screenings were missed as a result of the pandemic. Delayed and missed screenings can result in cancer being caught later and diagnosed at more advanced stages. So, if you have put off a screening like a mammogram or colonoscopy due to COVID-19, now is the time to reschedule.
“[Had] I not had the screenings, I would not have found it. It was way deep inside and I had no other signs or symptoms. So I was grateful that I was able to have a mammogram to catch it quickly and get into my treatment quickly and right now I am cancer free.”
— Jennifer, diagnosed with breast cancer
