The Coliseum Cancer Institute is dedicating the month of October to building awareness for breast cancer.  Beginning October 1, a Mardi Gras themed celebration for the Bosom Buddies, a breast cancer survivor support group, will kick off Breast Cancer Awareness month at the Cancer Center at Coliseum Medical Centers at Noon. (330 Hospital Drive, Bldg C, Suite 120, Macon GA 31217)  The Bosom Buddies will be recognized for their years of survival, eat a delicious lunch, dance to music, and take home some great giveaways. 

Throughout October, the Coliseum Cancer Institute will be involved in several events in the community and will host weekly Educational Drop-in Sessions and Survivor’s Yoga classes every Wednesday afternoon beginning at 2pm in the Cancer Center.  The Women’s Center at Coliseum Medical Centers (330 Hospital Drive, Bldg C, Suite 100, Macon GA 31217) is the only Breast Imaging Center of Excellence in Central Georgia and offers mammograms daily, and late-night mammograms on the second Tuesday each of each month from 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm.
