Yesterday, I stopped by downtown Plymouth with Representative Michelle Badger to meet the Lobular Breast Cancer Alliance (LBCA) bus on the last day of its 20 day cross-country trip. The purpose of its journey was to raise awareness and education about lobular breast cancer, a barely understood cancer that affects 50,000 women in the US yearly and doesn’t form lumps or have a specific treatment. I am happy to support the LBCA which raises awareness and educates, has created scientific and patient boards, has created a comprehensive website (lobularbreastcancer.org) virtual support groups, and funded grants for research. I was pleased to cosponsor a bill filed by Representative Badger to make October 15th Lobular Brest Cancer Awareness Day in the Commonwealth.
