Join Carmichael Honda’s in our fight against cancer.
West Sacramento hosted the first annual “Pink Boot” drive to fight breast cancer. “It can happen to you, absolutely can happen to you. One in eight women are diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime,” said survivor Louis Roachford-Gould.
“I just made a big commitment because the people going through breast cancer are going through a heck of a lot worse than me walking for three days for 60 miles,” said Judy Brosi-Chrzanowski, with Team One Step Closer.
Carmichael Honda is one of the many business’s in Sacramento that continue to raise funds to help fight cancer and raise awareness. The Susan G. Komen foundation has been one of the most recognized champions for the fight against breast cancer. The money that is raised goes to not only fund the research of cancer drugs but is used to raise awareness. The key to surviving breast cancer is early detection and treatment. According to the American Cancer Society, when breast cancer is confined to the breast, the five-year survival rate is close to 100%. The early detection of breast cancer helps reduce the need for therapeutic treatment and minimizes pain and suffering, allowing women to continue leading happy, productive lives. Unfortunately however 1 in 8 women will still be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetimes.
The good news is that treatment options continue to improve for those who are struck with the disease. Treatment for invasive breast cancer usually involves a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and/or targeted therapy.
