October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and a variety of Wyoming organizations, including Cheyenne Regional Cancer Center, are stepping up to provide vital resources for those affected by breast cancer.

Dr. Alana Workman, an oncologist at Cheyenne Regional Cancer Center, noted that a cancer diagnosis brings a mix of emotions, including fear and hope. She emphasized the importance of comprehensive care—addressing both medical and non-medical needs—through multidisciplinary approaches, patient education, support services, and survivorship programs, which together enhance patient outcomes and the overall experience.

During this important month, organizations like the Wyoming Breast Cancer Initiative (WBCI), Wyoming Cancer Program (WCP), Cheyenne Regional Medical Center (CRMC), and the American Cancer Society are committed to providing essential resources for our community. Together, we can raise awareness and support those battling breast cancer.
