Yesterday was the last day of Breast Cancer Awareness month and I want
to leave my sisters with one important statistic:
-African American women are 10%
less likely to have been diagnosed with breast cancer, but almost 40% are more
likely to die from it.
Why? Poorer women live farther from mammography services,
race and weight impact breast cancer survival, black patients receive less
clinical trial information than white patients. The key to reversing these
trends are “ Education and Early Detection”. October has ended, but our fight to
end breast cancer forever continues!
Stay Alert!
With Love,
Dymond Elise
