Finding where one stands in the middle of this starts with knowing your own family history. Doing a bit of research to find out if any family members have had this disease will better prepare you for protecting yourself and seeking preventative health care before there is any problem.
Regular and timely check-ups should be done without fail. This will give your doctor a road map to any changes that are indicated. And if there is a change that is noticed, it will be caught early. Early detection often makes the difference between life and death.
Fighting for a cure is very important, but knowing and understanding what it is about is also crucial. Our society needs to be educated and understand what to look for when dealing with such a difficult disease. Although finding a cure is the goal, knowing what to look for and understanding the symptoms is just as important for early detection and ultimately, saving lives.
For so long society has actually viewed this as a disease of only women. Many are surprised to know that men have also suffered with this illness and that it does not only affect females.

Raising awareness has provided education, funding and support for those who are dealing with this health issue.

It is an obligation that we have to each other to fight, support and hopefully, find a cure so we no longer have to watch those we love fall victim to it.
