As October winds down, we still want to encourage all women to consider having a mammogram for your health and awareness.
You are not alone. There are many resources in your community to help black women find information about breast cancer, treatment, support, and networking.
When you begin your journey of being diagnosed, use these resources to find information before, during, and after your treatments. Knowing more about resources that are available can help you be a better patient. You don’t have to struggle alone.
