Margarita Zavala's battle against breast cancer

It must be one of these very rare times when the name Bush will be mentioned in a positive way and naturally is not George W. Bush but his wife Laura. So US first lady Laura Bush and Mexico’s first lady Margarita Zavala launched a joined effort to try reducing deaths from breast cancer.

With breast cancer the worst enemy is not the cancer itself but the lack of information and it involves millions of women internationally. In Mexico especially one out of 258 women of ages between 30 and 40 will discover having breast cancer in the next ten years and the key word is discovered. Needs a huge effect of information to lead these women in testing their breasts or make sure that they can read the signs.

The move from the Mexican first lady is especially referable because you would never call Mexico the paradise of this kind of information and her work is definitely difficult. But it seems that Mexico’s first lady feels strongly that she can make the difference and the only thing we can do is offer our support and wish her luck.
