LET NOTHING STOP YOU FROM
beating Breast Cancer
vacations and other special occasions.
While COVID-19 has dominated our lives
for nearly two years now, we must not forget
the dangers of breast cancer that have always
been in the background of the global pandemic.
The disease continues to afflict close to
3 million women and men in America each
year, and a horrific side effect of the pandemic
has been delays in proper testing and
treatment for breast cancer.
Time is critical in the fight against breast
cancer. Every week or month a case
goes undiagnosed could mean
the difference between life
and death. Simply put, the
earlier breast cancer is detected,
the better the odds
are of defeating it.
As we finally get closer
to the day that we put
COVID-19 behind us, we
must redouble
our focus
toward overcoming
breast
cancer.
So if
you’ve been
putting off
that mammogram,
now’s
the time to
schedule
one.
If you are at higher risk of contracting
breast cancer due to family history or other
factors, make sure you self-test and see your
doctor regularly.
Physicians, nurses and radiologists all
across the city are doing everything they can
to make their facilities safe. Let them help
you and provide the best care possible so you
can live the longest, healthiest life you can.
Lastly, if you haven’t received a COVID-19
vaccine yet, please get one so you can protect
yourself, your loved ones and all those caring
for breast cancer survivors.
We can beat COVID-19 and breast cancer
together. Let’s continue staying strong, proud
and safe!
