OCTOBER 2022
Happy October Friends!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. I would be remiss if I did not share my personal story with you. I began 2018 with a diagnosis of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) after finding a lump during a self-breast exam. I just had a negative mammogram only 5 months prior. If I had not been performing regular self-breast exams, the lump could have gone undetected for another 6+ months until my next scheduled mammogram.
Did you know that Black women experience TNBC at a far higher rate than other groups? Until I was a patient myself, I didn’t realize different types of breast cancers existed. TNBC requires a pretty aggressive treatment due to the high rate of recurrence.
For me, my treatment was successful. I am extraordinarily thankful and feel completely blessed to be here almost 5 years later and still cancer free. Praise God!
Ladies, please check your breasts at least once a month. I will beat this drum every year in October because it is so important. I was blessed to have found the lump by simply doing my monthly self-breast exam. Be persistent about checking yourself out and getting those mammograms!
There are great resources available with lots of good information. Here are a few if you are interested in learning more:

If it’s the first time you’ve had a coworker diagnosed with cancer, it’s probably more difficult. Even worse, what you may think of as a natural and helpful question or comment may not be helpful at all — and may actually be hurtful. READ MORE >>>
