Cancer Society Plans Breast Health Walk
The third annual “Break the Silence” Breast Health Walk and Rally will be held Saturday from noon until 3 p.m. at the Camarillo Premium Outlet center near the Food Hall.
Last year about 200 people attended the event sponsored by the American Cancer Society.
Registration for the one-mile walk will be from noon until 1 p.m. Following the walk, there will be speakers, a rally, food and entertainment from 2 to 3 p.m.
Speakers, including physicians and a health educator, will discuss breast self-exams, mammograms, treatment of breast cancer and reconstructive surgery.
Nearly 19,000 new cases of breast cancer have been diagnosed in California this year and 4,605 women have died from the disease, according to the California Cancer Registry.
The American Cancer Society says that many of these deaths are preventable through regular examinations.
