October Rose, to know how to cope with breast cancer

The file of the writing is interested today in Pink October. Organized in France since 1994, this annual campaign is designed to raise awareness about bad cancer screening.

Breast cancer has affected 59,000 women in France in 2017, including 4900 in Occitania. It is estimated that one in eight women may have it in her lifetime.

And to fight the disease better, screening is essential. We will first go to the Hérault, where the mammoth crisscrosses the roads all year long to take care of the screening of women from 50 to 74 years old. Toulouse direction then. During illness, the hardest is often the everyday. And to accompany patients and their families during this ordeal, badociations exist. This is the case of Etincelle, who after Montpellier, has just moved to the pink city.

Finally, our last stop will be in Argelès-sur-Mer, in the Pyrénées-Orientales. Many women manage to overcome this disease. But from there begins the reconstruction phase. And it is often through sport that comes the solution. Immersion in a gun room where women are cutting cancer.
