Everyone can make a difference!
We are Treasure Coast Family Dental in Vero Beach, FL. Our staff believes in community involvement and we have all been touched by cancer in one form or another on a personal level with our families, our friends, and our patients. We have lost friends to cancer and we have triumphed with friends that have survived it. We want to give back in a way that will help others. The money raised will go toward research and also serves as a way to promote awareness of this mostly silent killer. So many affected are younger women with families and many are diagnosed before 40. There is no lump so it is often misdiagnosed and it is very progressive, often diagnosed as stage III or IV. The average 5 year survival rate for IBC is about 34%, depending on the stage and type of tumor grade. Since it is a rapidly progressing aggressive cancer, the prognosis is much lower than with other forms of invasive breast cancer. Please educate yourself and I hope you will consider coming out for our event to support IBC research and this great organization.
