2009 WBIR & Mercy Health Partners Buddy Check 10 Campaign

Buddy Check is a simple reminder that a regular breast self-exam is an important step for the early detection of breast cancer.
Here's how it works:

Find A Buddy
Choose a family member, friend or coworker

Mark Your Calendar
On the 10th of each month, mark your calendar as a reminder.

Call Your Buddy
Remind each other to do your breast self -exam.

If you find a lump, call your physician. If you need a physician, call Baptist Ask-A-Nurse at 632-5200.

One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. It is the most common cancer in women in the U.S. If breast cancer is detected and treated before it spreads to the lymph nodes and other parts of the body, the chance of a cure is greater than 85%. Know the warning signs of breast cancer and the guidelines for breast health.
