Medical experts agree that early detection is a woman’s best defense in overcoming breast cancer. In fact, the National Breast Cancer Foundation reports that when breast cancer is detected in the early, localized stage, the five-year survival rate is 98 percent. The organization encourages every woman to develop an early detection plan consisting of breast self-exams, clinical breast exams and mammograms based on age and health history. To learn how to perform a monthly breast self-exam, go to www.nationalbreastcancer.org or consult your healthcare professional. A family physician or gynecologist should perform a clinical breast exam as part of an annual visit, and can advise women on the frequency of mammography scheduling. 870-460-3583 Phone | 870-460-3592 Fax www.drewmemorial.org Compassionate Cancer Care Close to Home Cancer Screening | Chemotherapy | Infusion Therapy | Diagnoses of Adult Cancers & Blood Disorders | Outpatient Injections | Mediport Maintenance The Prescription Pad (870) 224-4545 The 201 N Slemons Pharmacy Monticello Your www.healthy.arkansas.gov Hometown Wo o d s Drug Store 3COGIN $RIVE s -ONTICELLO !2 870-367-6234 539 Hwy 425 S of Monticello Monticello, AR (OURS OF /PERATION Health and 870-367-4227 -ON &RI 870-367-4211 fax Rehabilitation Center Dr. Noadia Worku !- Pain Management Specialist Brian Smith, Pharm.D.
