Breast Cancer Early Detection Services. Uninsured women
ages 50 and above can call the YWCA-NOC and receive free Breast
Health Services that include mammograms, clinical breast exams, and
breast self exam education and training. More than 150 screenings
were scheduled for the 2009 year throughout Orange County, and
we anticipate screening some 5,000 women. For a copy of our monthly
screening calendar, please call 714-871-4488.
Breast Self Exam Workshops. We offer free Breast Self
Exam (BSE) workshops to women's groups, churches, community groups
and in the community at large. This one-hour program helps women
understand why BSE is important and how to correctly complete a BSE.
Early detection saves lives! Programs are presented in English,
Korean, Spanish and Vietnamese. To request a workshop, call
714-871-4488.
A diagnosis of cancer brings with it a million questions, and the
first and most important source of information is your treatment team.
Whatever your questions or concerns, you should never hesitate to share
them with your physical treatment team much more productive, and the
information you gain will help you make informed decisions about your
treatment plan. Call the YWCA at (714)-871-4485 to receive your free
copy of the Cancer and Careers Living and Works with Cancer Workbook.
