Local women took time to
learn about breast cancer as part
o f a recent event during Breast
Cancer Awareness Month.
Lizzi Katz, a four-year breast
cancer survivor, spoke to
women at Kah-Nee-Ta High
D esert Resort and Casino as
part of a Breast Cancer Aware
ness event last week.
“One of the reasons for com
ing to Kah-Nee-Ta was a lot of
people who work don’t get a
chance to go to other events,”
Katz explained. “Kah-Nee-Ta
has been very supportive in host
ing us.”
Katz spoke to a number of
women throughout the day—
some o f them employees o f
K ah-N ee-Ta and even a few
guests.
“I think it has been success
ful,” Katz said.
As a cancer survivor, Katz
said, speaking to women who
have survived for many years
gives her hope for the future.
“It was great to talk to people,
to share inform ation,” K atz
added.
Previously Katz has also spo
ken to Warm Springs women at
the Pi-Ume-Sha health fair as
well as the Women of Wellness
Group.
There are Several key things
that women need to know in
order about breast cancer, Katz
said.

Katz said, she should have a
mammogram every year. For
younger women, a clinical breast
exam should be done once ev
ery three years after age 20.
T n ‘ addition, K atz sa id ,'
. women should do monthly self-
. exams and be sure to know their
own bodies.
“Anything that seems differ
ent for you, have it checked
out,” Katz said.
One thing that many don’t
realize, she added, is that men
can get breast cancer too. If a

man finds a lump or experiences
any swelling in the chest area it
should be checked out by his
doctor, Katz said.
“Because we d o n ’t know
what causes cancer, early detec
tion is key,” Katz added. That
way treatment is more likely to
be successful, she said.
Katz encourages women to
follow through and be screened
for breast cancer by scheduling
a clinical breast exam or mam
mogram.
Clinical breast exams can be
performed at the Warm Springs
Health and Wellness Center by
calling 553-2610 to schedule an
appointment.
For a mammogram, women
can go to Mountain View Hos
pital and call 475-3882 to sched
ule an appointment.
Every tribal member woman
who has a mammogram at Mt.
View Hospital will receive a $10
Safeway gift card at the appoint
ment to help offset gas cots.
Oregon has one of the high
est rates of breast cancer in the
county, and one in eight women
will develop breast cancer in
their lifetime. Eighty five per
cent o f those women have no
family history of breast cancer,
Katz educates women about
breast cancer as part of the Sara
Fisher Breast Cancer Project.
The project received a grant
from tbe Susan G. Komen Foun
dation and aims to educate
women throughout Central and
