This year 559,650 Americans are expected to die of cancer, more than 1,500 a day, estimates the NCI. Fear and anxiety of a cancer diagnosis remain strong deterrents to early testing and treatment! Dr. Mary Harris says: “Studies tell us that about a third of the Latino population and 20% of African-Americans have no health insurance coverage! When cost is not a factor, people are more likely to get the preventive screening tests that could save their lives.”
