	Buddy Check 8

	Breast cancer can strike any woman...your mother, your sister, your aunt, your best friend, your daughter, and even you. KOMU is committed to fighting the battle against cancer with information that can make a difference. Buddy Check 8 is a breast cancer prevention program brought to you by KOMU, in partnership with Ellis Fischel Cancer Center and Sprint. One out of eight women is affected in their lifetime by breast cancer. How can you fight back? On the eighth of every month we'll remind you to do your self-breast check, and remind you to remind your buddy to do the same. We'll also bring you stories on breast cancer research and medical breakthroughs. Pick up a shower hang tag with steps to complete a breast check at Ellis Fischel Cancer Center or University Hospital pharmacies. Learn the right way to perform a breast check.
