Sister Study is research for sister's; one sister has had or has breast cancer.
What is it all about? They are doing research on women; that are family sisters that one or the other has breast cancer or had. What do they do? It is research geared to your environment, diet, life style, genetics. They are looking for links to define breast cancer in families; genetic, environment.
It does not cost anything and; if you meet the qualifications they need you.
They send you forms to fill out; do an interview over the telephone; draw blood for labs; a home physical that is not extensive:height, weight, vitals, questions about your diet; collect samples from you taken from your home:dust, fibers, etc. But I am not the expert here; they are......I am just introducing them........and giving them an offering of a full page.......as I truly believe this is a worthy cause............let's help stamp out breast cancer.....if you are a sister of a survivior or have a sister that has breast cancer this is a way for you to help all the family sister's in the world. So please go to their web site; read all about it or call.You would be blessing alot of women and their lives, and later..........just maybe we can save someone's life.............God Bless
What do they need? They have one more year to reach a goal of 50,000 women. You can help by telling everyone you know about the study. It is especially important to encourage under-represented women, including those over 65,American Indians, African Americans, Latinas, and Asian women to join the study. One of their most successful methods for recruiting sisters for the study is friends telling friends and sisters telling sisters. Please call.......
