The bill, titled "An Act establishing Lobular Breast Cancer Awareness Day," proposes the addition of a new section to Chapter 6 of the General Laws of Massachusetts. Specifically, it seeks to insert Section 15AAAAAAA, which mandates that the governor issue an annual proclamation designating October 15th as Lobular Breast Cancer Awareness Day. The purpose of this day is to promote awareness of lobular breast cancer and encourage research efforts related to the disease.
This initiative aims to raise public consciousness about lobular breast cancer, a specific type of breast cancer that may not be as widely recognized as other forms. By establishing a dedicated day for awareness, the bill seeks to foster community engagement and support for those affected by the disease, as well as to stimulate further research into its causes and treatments.
