Portsmouth Partnership to Beat Breast Cancer

Did you know that more women die from breast cancer in the city of Portsmouth than any other city in Hampton Roads? The overwhelming number of fatalities from this curable disease are African American women. Why Portsmouth? How can women in that city and all over Hampton Roads take control of their health and their lives? On the next Another View we'll talk about prevention, diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer with Community Health Advisor and breast cancer survivor Fredda Bryan; breast cancer survivor Elaine Gishard; Community Health Advisor Manager Carol VanCamp, and Leon Thomas, who will speak about supporting a loved one with breast cancer. Find out about the special partnership between the American Cancer Society, the Walmart Foundation and the city of Portsmouth to beat breast cancer. Plus Lisa Godley takes us behind the scenes of the opera Aida! It's all on Another View, Friday, September 30 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM, or whrv.org.
