Do you Know your Breast Cancer Risk?

DO YOU know your breast cancer risk factors? Having breasts is the Number 1 risk factor for getting breast cancer. Daniel P. Silver, MD, Ph.D., a board-certified medical oncologist, and cancer researcher said at the 2019 Living Beyond Breast Cancer conference, “Prevention is key when it comes to breast cancer.” Who knew that you may be able to avoid a breast cancer diagnosis? 

In my book, Orange is the New Pink: My Battle with Triple-Negative Breast Cancer, my goal is to encourage women to understand and manage their breast cancer risk factors to avoid a diagnosis. I am a 7-year Triple-Negative Breast Cancer survivor, and my good health may have played a role in my survival.
