 MEXICO CITY (AP) - First lady Laura Bush joined her Mexican counterpart on Friday to inaugurate a two-country alliance to promote breast cancer awareness and research.
At the launch of the U.S.-Mexico Partnership for Breast Cancer Awareness and Research, Bush and Margarita Zavala spoke of improving education and doing away with stigmas attached to breast cancer so women will not be afraid to get medical help.
"In Mexico, one out of every 258 women will discover they have breast cancer in the next 10 years," Bush said at the ceremony in the Mexican capital. "The majority of these cases will be detected in their later stages, greatly reducing their chances of survival."
