Every month, KMTR and Oregon Imaging Centers brings you 16 Checks In, an on-air and email reminder for women to perform their monthly breast self-exams. This month, KMTR followed up with a local woman, Christine Buckson, who credits the 16 Checks In reminders with helping her detect her breast cancer early. Buckson, diagnosed with a very aggressive and rare form of breast cancer, believes that if she'd waited another month, her cancer may have spread and become more difficult to treat.
KMTR and Oregon Imaging Centers are proud sponsors of the 2010 Komen Eugene Race for the Cure on 10-10-10. Join the movement to end breast cancer forever. Visit the Oregon Imaging Race Center at www,oregonimaging.com/race to learn more about the Race and the latest news in the fight against breast cancer.
