This episode is inspired by Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October 2019). In it, I discuss breast cancer statistics, break down some myths regarding this cancer and some up to date recommendations from the American Cancer Society. I also talk about my own experience with my mother who had breast cancer.
You will learn:
*Why self-breast exams are no longer recommended
*African American women are at higher risk of dying from breast cancer.
*Why wire bras do not cause breast cancer
*At 40 years of age, you should talk with your provider about getting yearly mammograms.
