This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Barbara #61!
Apart from non-melanoma skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women (CDC), yet, no cure has been found to date. Thankfully, there are organizations like Susan G. Komen for the Cure, dedicated to education and research about causes, treatment, and a cure for this disease.
Hanes has teamed up with Susan G. Komen and Actress Melina Kanakaredes in the fight against breast cancer. Hanes will be the official T-shirt of the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Series. Komen will provide Hanes t-shirts to the 1.5 million people who participate in the series every year. Hanes will also offer a special “pink collection” of panties, bras, socks, and graphic tees — including three T-shirts exclusively designed by Melina Kanakaredes. These T-shirts, which communicate strength, hope, and fearlessness, are designed to honor those affected by the disease. Additionally, Hanes will also donate $500,000 to Komen in 2010.
You can view the “pink” T-shirts on the Hanes website and at Walmart locations across the country. The complete “pink” collection will be available on the Hanes website and in select stores this fall.
Win It! One of you will win a Hanes Pink Tee designed by Melina Kanakaredes. Simply leave me a comment with something you learned about breast cancer. Comments will close on June 3, 2010 at 11:59 PM PST. One comment per person, please (unless you do the extra credit). US residents only. Duplicates and comments not including the above information will be disqualified. Comments are moderated. If you don’t see your comment in a reasonable amount of time, send me an email.

Your pathology report contains the information that describes your diagnosis.
On average, 7 to 18 percent of women with early breast cancer have a local recurrence within 10 years after treatment.
There are two different types of biopsies done, the Needle biopsie and the Surgical biopsie. Thanks for the chance!

I learned the most promising new treatments are the targeted therapies that, unlike many of today’s standard treatments, attack only cancer cells and leave healthy cells alone. This is such a great approach.
Thank you.
