So many women you know may have had breast cancer — friends and neighbors, coworkers, relatives. It seems as if every time you turn around, breast cancer is being talked about in the newspaper or on TV. You may be fearful of developing breast cancer for the first time or of receiving a diagnosis after a mammogram or other testing. If you’ve had breast cancer, you may be fearful of a possible recurrence or even of the possibility that breast cancer could take your life. 

Even though you may have some of these fears, you are not necessarily going to get breast cancer. If you have had breast cancer before, it doesn’t mean that the cancer will recur. Still, it's normal to have concerns about a disease that you hear about and see around you relatively often — and that you may have experienced yourself or through a loved one. Don't let the discussion of fear in this section feed into your own fears.

North Metro Waste is committed to our part in helping to find a cure for breast cancer. In the days and weeks to come, our website will provide feedback from breast cancer survivors and their family. We hope this information will help our viewers find a deeper understanding of this disease and how it affects everyone, in one way or another.

Besides the information provided on our website, another way we can help is through The Pink Cart Program, by which a percentage of each cart rental through North Metro Waste is donated to The American Cancer Society. We will have an ongoing tally (The Pinkometer) on the site to show how generous and caring our clients really are. For more information about The Pink Cart, Click Here.

We encourage you add your story to our site. (COMING SOON!)
