Support the Pink Ribbon in October

Every year, nearly 7000 women in Sweden are told they have breast cancer. This means that 18 women every day are told: You have cancer. Today need such a statement is no longer perceived as a death sentence. There have been major advances in diagnosis, treatment and care in recent decades, which shows great promise for the future. But we must invest more in research to understand why breast cancer occurs and how to adapt the treatment to each individual. Despite advances in research and treatment, they die 1500 women each year from breast cancer in Sweden, it means that every 6 hours a woman dies of breast cancer and this only in Sweden!

Pink Ribbon is the international symbol for the fight against breast cancer. The pink ribbon used for breast cancer organizations worldwide, particularly in October. It is the international breast cancer month with information efforts to focus on breast cancer, raise awareness and knowledge about the disease and raise money for research and to support activities of breast cancer treatment.

The Cosmopharma is working many women, and thanks to the contribution to research, we have many employees who have survived breast cancer. We think it is obvious that during the Pink Ribbon campaign to be with and contribute to further research about the disease. During the month of October we give 1 Euro from every product sold by the five selected top sellers. Join in and support research by shopping your products from Cosmopharma in October.

Ann-Sofie Sahlqvist, Swedish Consultant in Cosmo Pharma on its fight against breast cancer
I am a mother of 4 children and 40 years old, struggling against my breast cancer. For seven years ago, I felt two lumps in the right breast. I did not think much of it then but the next day my colleagues sent me to the medical center and there began my long journey!
The doctors had to remove my chest and I got pills to slow the estrogen in the body. Menopausal symptoms of poor sleep, I got the bargain ... as if it was not enough with the cancer itself! Ten months later I got a new lump. Again, a malignant cancer tumors! Chemotherapy, radiation and a five-month treatment with nausea and hair loss as a result.
After all the hard treatments, I was finally fully recovered in August last year. Just today I feel really good full of energy and positive thoughts and life feels wonderful again!

Maren Vagnsnes Hillestad is a Norwegian Consultant in Cosmopharma. Maren has also managed to overcome breast cancer.
I got breast cancer in 2002. Had to remove the breast and got a cell poison and radiation. Lost the hair but not discouraged and mood. I had to be strong and I had many wonderful and nice positive people around me.
Got new outbreaks in 2008. This time also a breast operation. And Chemotherapy and radiation. I tried to keep up the good mood the both times. If you can it is important that you keep the positive thinking inside of you, and do not take any sorrows or think of bad endings in advanced. Today I am healthy and I try to keep up the good mood al the time.
