This video’s message is
very simple: DO or Die Early. The video is made to help
Aboriginal women learn how to perform breast self-examination on themselves,
It is also for health professionals both non-Native and Native to help teach
the Native woman how to do the exam, and to show and have some compassion and
to be patient.
The video has an all Native
cast, made up of some breast cancer survivors all of whom dealt with the
disease successfully, and introduces other knowledgeable guests. It features
two Native women breast models, their main purpose is to show the breast
self-exam on different sized breasts and the various methods.
Graphic images of the different
types of breast cancer surgery are also shown to let the women know that this
can happen to them too if they don’t practice monthly.. breast
self-examinations and have regular mammograms.
The First Nations Breast Cancer
Society is dedicated to getting the breast cancer education out to the
Aboriginal women so that they don’t have to die needlessly due to the lack
of education, It is our hope to save lives for generations to come.
“EARLY
DETECTION IS YOUR BEST PROTECTION”
Practice monthly breast
self-examinations and have regular mammograms. May Your Future Be Bright
