January kicks off the New Year with the start of #CervicalcancerAwareness month. As everyone starts to make their New Year’s resolutions we can’t stress enough the importance of putting your health at the top of that list and scheduling your regular screenings.

Bile duct cancer starts in a bile duct. To understand this cancer, it helps to know about the bile ducts and what they normally do.

Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the cells of the cervix… the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. Various strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection, play a role in causing most cervical cancer.
Regularly examining your breasts on your own, can be an important way to detect breast cancer early, when it’s more likely to be treated successfully. While no single test can detect all breast cancers early, we believe that performing self exams, in combination with other screening methods, can increase the odds of early detection.
It’s time to #ThinkPink in support of Breast Cancer Awareness month and show the women & men in the fight that we support them. We feel awareness leads to early detection and that is a big part in the fight against cancer. #TogetherWeFight
