Arm yourself in the battle against breast cancer with everything from the latest knowledge on treatment to how to access a low-cost mammogram. In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce is offering a free community education discussion on Oct. 7. A panel of experts will be on hand to supply information and answer questions on a range of issues related to breast cancer survival.
Mammography and options in breast cancer treatment will be explored by several specialists. Low-cost screening and diagnostic mammograms are available at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center.
