Breast Cancer Survivor/Basketball Pro Edna Campbell Leads Fight to Increase Awareness of Chemotherapy Related Anemia

Campbell Champions Rebound from Anemia, a National Campaign Developed to Educate and Motivate the Millions of People at Risk for Anemia to Seek Diagnosis and Treatment
Indianapolis, IN (June 15, 2004) – When basketball star Edna Campbell was diagnosed with breast cancer nearly three years ago, she knew that she would need to re-direct her energy from professional basketball to fight her deadly disease. But breast cancer was not Edna’s only challenge. She also had to battle anemia – a debilitating side effect of chemotherapy treatment that affects 71 percent of chemotherapy patients.1

Today, Campbell visits the Cancer Care Center of Johnson Memorial Hospital, a partner of the Community Cancer Care network in Indianapolis, to talk about her experience with breast cancer, anemia and her involvement in Rebound from Anemia, a national campaign developed to educate and motivate the millions of people at risk for anemia to seek diagnosis and treatment. Rebound from Anemia is sponsored by Ortho Biotech Products, L.P., marketer of PROCRIT
