I co-hosted a 1920’s themed charity gala for the Young Survival Coalition on Thursday night in New York. This is an wonderful organization that supports females who are diagnosed with breast cancer under 40. They do fabulous work & I desired to get involved because I couldn’t think how small awareness & information is out there & that females under 40, can & do get breast cancer. It is sometimes more agressive when developed at a more youthful age & they know that with treating cancer, early detection is key.
I met some wonderful females last night who are survivors & shared with me their tales. All of them said the YSC helped them make positive they weren’t going through it alone.
Girls, do your self exams one times a month & listen to your body. In case you feel like something is wrong, go get it checked out. Receive a second opinion if your doctor isn’t receptive to your health concerns. Regrettably, I heard from females in their 20’s & 30’s say their doctors brushed concerns off because of their age.
Go to youngsurvival.org for more information!
