Walgreens specialty pharmacy is honored to be a collaborator with Learn Look Locate. Specialty pharmacies can be an amazing resource for patients. Aside from providing medication, Walgreens helps connect patients to innumerable resources including education, screening, fertility preservation, financial assistance, and community support. Walgreens is looking forward to extending these resources to the Learn Look Locate community. Their goal is to help patients fit their medication regimen into their lives rather than building their lives around their medication. This includes working to mitigate side effects and educating on how to get the best results from their medication.
Cynthia Jordan, Founder of Learn Look Locate LLC in 2018 has generated a global movement to provide critical education for the early detection of breast cancer. It is estimated that one in eight women in the United States will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. While most of these cases are diagnosed in women over the age of 50, the disease can affect women of any age. Early detection is critical to survival, yet many women are not familiar with the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.
We advocate the importance of self-breast exams, what to look for when performing a self-exam, and when to see a doctor. We provide resources for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, as well as for their families and friends.
The five-year survival rate for women who catch their cancer early is nearly 100%. Here’s an important statistic. Many women do not perform self-breast exams or see a doctor for regular screenings. Learn Look Locate LLC wants to highlight the work of organizations around the world that are working to promote early detection of breast cancer. We will feature stories of women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and share their journeys.
There is a strong community of women who have been affected by breast cancer. In addition, there are a number of organizations and resources available to help women find the support they need.
Learn Look Locate LLC provides resources for women who want to get involved in the fight against breast cancer.
