The Thursday, October 15 Pink Shirt campaign in Lincoln Daily News features three of our local businesses, Abe’s Caramel Corn, Deep Roots Bakery & Café, and Woods and Bates Attorneys at Law. These are all family-owned businesses in our community, with each person featured sending out best wishes for all our cancer warriors in Lincoln and Logan County.

With a focus on family in these photos, it is a good time to think about family and cancer. Some cancers are more likely if there is a family history of the same cancer. In the case of breast cancer, there is genetic testing that can be done to determine if a person is a greater risk for the terrible disease. This is important to know for those who have other family members who have contracted the disease. If breast cancer has created warriors in your family, talk to your doctor about being tested.
