See the LBCA's bus and talk to people from LBCA at their national bus stop at NHO from 10-1 on Thursday, Oct. 1 in the Support Center parking lot (4001 Pioneer Woods Drive).
For LBCA’s annual campaign to raise awareness of Lobular Breast Cancer during October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re going big this year and setting out to Talk About Lobular Breast Cancer across the country, September 26th – October 15th!
The results of recent surveys by LBCA reveal that despite nearly 50,000 new diagnoses each year and cases increasing faster than other breast cancer types, 4 in 5 Americans have never heard of lobular breast cancer. Even among those diagnosed with breast cancer, nearly half (47%) have never heard of lobular breast cancer. Plus, we know that ILC patients receive little information about their disease at diagnosis.
- More than 8 in 10 ILC patients say no one on their care team gave them comprehensive information about ILC at diagnosis.
- 85% of U.S. ILC patients say their hospitals have no lobular breast cancer information on their websites.
- Fewer than 1% are told about LBCA and our resources for ILC patients!
