No Será Mi Pesadilla- Lupita y Su Consciencia: Obra teatral sobre Cáncer de Seno
Lupita pasa su vida sin preocuparse de su salud y comiendo sin control. No recuerda cuando fué la última vez que visitó al doctor. Cuando iba a cumplir 45 años tiene una pesadilla donde su conciencia le habla de la importancia del mamograma para la detección temprana del cáncer de seno, le recuerda que el cáncer de seno es la causa principal de muerte de las mujeres hispanas en los Estados Unidos, que ella ya pasó los 40 años, que a esa edad se comienza con los exámenes de detección y esta poniendo en riesgo su salud con su estilo de vida. Su conciencia le persuade para que llame al doctor y haga una cita para su examen de detección. La oficina de proyección comunitaria en el centro de cáncer integral Dan L Duncan en Baylor College of Medicine presenta "No Será Mi Pesadilla- Lupita y Su Consciencia” una obra teatral (monólogo) sobre la concientización del cáncer de seno. Como parte de nuestro programa de teatro educativo, este monólogo tiene el objetivo de proporcionar información a la población hispana sobre la importancia de la detección temprana del cáncer de seno.
