After 15 years of participating and supporting Susan G. Komen walks in Atlanta, I am leading our team again this year, but now as a fellow breast cancer survivor. 

I have been very fortunate in my journey. I’ve been lifted up and surrounded by so much love and support from everyone around me, including my amazing medical team. My cancer’s ‘personality’ was favorable. We caught it early. We knew my dense breast tissue could hide malignancies, so I pushed for more advanced testing. That is the only reason we found my breast cancer that was hard to detect with imaging.

Find out if you have dense breast tissue. Ask if more or different testing wound be beneficial. Talk to your doctor about your risk score for breast cancer.  Ask questions and be informed. ð©·
