The American Cancer Society, ACS, Cancer Action Network, CAN, has issued a Save Our Mammograms and Cancer
Screenings action alert for concerned citizens concerning legislation S.1955 designed to undermine important patient
protections and hamper efforts to prevent, detect and treat cancer. State laws that ensure cancer screenings
protections will be threatened. According to the ACS, this bill would eliminate all of the progress made in the states
that guarantee access to mammograms, colon cancer screening, pap smears, clinical trial participation, off-label drug
use and other cancer screenings and treatments. The ACS is asking Americans to stand up to protect these vital cancer
screenings. ACS has provided an easy-to-use online form that allows citizens to contact U.S. Senators and voice
opposition to this legislation. It is an election year. They just might pay a little more attention to what the voters
have to say right now. Go here to speak up and
have your opinion count. Thank to Keri of 500 Miles 2 Nowhere for this blog lead!
