I AM THE CURE.™ Say the words over and over. I AM THE CURE.™ Live them. Believe them. I AM THE CURE™, the new rallying cry of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, empowers you with the knowledge that early detection truly makes a difference and urges you to take an active role in your own breast health.

Early detection is the key to survival. When breast cancer is discovered while still confined to the breast, the five-year survival rate is more than 95 percent. Take five minutes to learn the simple things you can do to take charge.

Share them. Help us spread this message of empowerment, and make these actions part of your life and the lives of your friends and family. Send this website to them today.



Be Aware.

1. The greatest risk factors for breast cancer are being female and growing older.

2. Breast cancer knows no boundaries be it age, gender, socio-economic status or
    geographic location.

3. Breast cancer affects more than just the patient — friends and family need support too.

Take Action.

4. The key to survival is early detection.

5. Three simple steps for early detection are regular mammograms, clinical breast exams and
    breast self-exams.

6. It is important to make healthy lifestyle choices.
