PHYSICAL DISTURBANCE RBPDrespondstoreportedfight By Rich Greene rgreene@redbluffdailynews.com @richgreenenews on Twitter RED BLUFF Women across the North State were asked to "Think Pink" Thursday as part of an annual breast can- cer awareness program. The Human Bean in Red Bluff was one of dozens of lo- cations where free Think Pink reusable bags were handed out. In Red Bluff alone 1,500 bags were handed out, The bags in- cluded a self-exam shower card, a 12-month calendar featuring photos from across the North State, a pink emery board, pink nail kit, pink pen, local pro- gram of breast cancer aware- ness events and a brochure for St. Elizabeth Community Hos- pital's mammogram program. Similar bags were sched- uled to be handed out in Man- ton and Cottonwood. Organizers hope to spread the message of early detection. Breast cancer has a 98 percent cure rate when found early.

Women age 40 and older are encouraged to have a mam- mogram every year, perform a self-exam every month and have a clinical breast exam by a doctor annually. The Northern Califor- nia Think Pink Day program started in 1997 in Shasta County with 500 bags behind handed out.
