My Nonprofit Reviews

The mission of CS is to ensure that all women be educated of the early warning symptoms of womens cancers. Early detection equals survival. Fran Drescher is a uterine cancer survivor, who has authored a book about her experience, which she travels the world sharing with others. She is committed, articulate and does not give up. With the CS Movement, she works with politicians to change legislation regarding womens cancers. This organization is only two-years-old, however, has made great strides. Everyone loves the Franny and when she speaks, they listen and learn. I was a founding board member and continue to volunteer. The letters we received from women who went to their gyn. and requested a transvaginal ultrasound, even though it was not offered, and learned early that they had a mass on an ovary or the thickening of the uterine lining, were powerful. Remember education is power. I learned a lot, too. I feel equipped to listen to my body, how to be a medical consumer by asking questions of my physician, writing down the answers and in conjunction with them get the proper care. I know firsthand how many hours the staff, the volunteers AND the boardmembers work. This organization is crucial. I would recommend everyone, men and women alike, go to www.cancerschmancer.org and become a free member so that you will receive newsletters about the upcoming events, accomplishments and goals of Cancer Schmancer.
