October 22, 2010 By Bio-Medicine.Org

SEATTLE, Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ — Throughout October, National
Breast Cancer Awareness Month, experts from Fred Hutchinson Cancer
Research Center and its clinical care partner, the Seattle Cancer
Care Alliance, are offering weekly research-based tip sheets
regarding breast cancer prevention, screening and early detection,
treatment and survivorship.

Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center Survivorship Program or

assistance to help you face your fears and move forward.

4. Get moving. If you pick one healthy thing to change in your
life, physical activity is likely to make the fastest change in how
