These kits are a perfect gift for all cancer patients, as well as for anyone going through a tough medical journey. Donate a Kit! Wishlist Donation Volunteer: Deliver Kits! Volunteer: Make the kits! Request a Kit! Arizona Kit Survey We are currently in need of: Pocket tissues Fiction or inspirational books Book marks Supplies to make our non-toxic products 100% cotton fabric Thread Rice Lint rollers Seat-belt covers Wishlist Donation Thank you for your generosity! About our Super Survivor Kits Each kit is made with love, community support, and generosity! The kit contains many handmade, clean, non-toxic products like: aromatherapy candles, lip gloss, hand cream, exfoliating soap, bath salts, laundry detergent, blankets, lavender infused eye masks, hats, hot/cold pads, plus a few extra donated entertainment items such as: coloring & game books, colored pencils, and inspiring memoirs. We even include the recipes so women can make more of the products when they run out! As we planned the Super Survivor Kits, we realized this was an amazing opportunity for our community to shine and use their talents to express their care. Our programs director, Laura began teaching her daughter’s girl scout troop the recipes. The girls loved the project and learning why non-toxic ingredients are so important. In just one night their troop made over 100 individual containers of homemade laundry detergent for the kits! The girls were overjoyed with their accomplishment and are continuing to learn more recipes to fill the kits! Our wonderful NCL volunteers have been making beautiful lavender infused eye masks. A local church, heard about the new program and within the week had bags of blankets made and ready to bring a bit of comfort. One woman heard the need and immediately left to buy fabric for the hot/cold packs. So! What has this revealed to us? People care! People want to show their support! People have many talents! And this Super Survivor Kit can be a way for all of them to collaborate with us and show each survivor that the community is there cheering them on and caring! We care about YOU! Special thank you to our very own Laura Pentsa and Girl Scout Troop #7286 for making our non-toxic products and leaving a legacy of health!

Misión e Historia Pautas de detección We strongly recommend you perform monthly self-exams in to order to be "BREAST AWARE" - the new common term. Having a regular schedule to check for changes in your breasts helps you know what is normal for you, and potentially discover an abnormality earlier. While attending the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting we heard esteemed Dr. Laura Esserman of the UCSF Carol Franc Buck Breast Care Center speak and share the fact that at least 50% of breast cancer is detected from a woman finding a palpable mass on her own – something you can feel, touch, see. We polled our breast cancer wig clients and 36% reported to find breast cancer through a self-exam. The Young Survival Coalitio n reported that 80% of young women find breast abnormalities on their own. Check for a Lump! Self Exam While lying on your back, or in the shower, place your right hand behind your head. Check segments of your breast at a time using the pads of your fingers firmly pressing down. Screen in a clock pattern, for example twelve – one o’clock from the top portion of your breasts towards your nipple. Repeat in the next segment 1-2 o’clock covering all of the breast tissue. Squeeze your nipple to check for discharge. Also check for abnormalities in your armpit as this is typically the first place cancer will travel to. Repeat the process on your left breast. If you find anything suspicious that does not go back to normal quickly you will want to follow up with your doctor. Clinical Exam While at your routine ob/gyn appointment, ask your doctor or health practitioner to preform a clinical exam. 12% of our wig clients with breast cancer discovered breast cancer through a clinical exam. A clinical exam takes only a few minutes and is absolutely free. It is one more line of defense.
