With over 3 million women battling breast cancer today, everywhere you turn there is a mother, daughter, sister, or friend who has been affected by breast cancer.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a huge breast cancer awareness advocate because my mom went through breast cancer recently. It really brought our family closer.
I have a lot of breast cancer history on my mother's side of the family.
Cancer affects all of us, whether you're a daughter, mother, sister, friend, coworker, doctor, patient.
Breast cancer is not just a disease that strikes at women. It strikes at the very heart of who we are as women: how others perceive us, how we perceive ourselves, how we live, work and raise our families-or whether we do these things at all.
I have experienced firsthand the tremendous impact breast cancer has on the women who fight it and the loved ones who support them. This is a disease that catches you unaware and, without the right resources, leaves you feeling frightened and alone.
Women who have been recently diagnosed with breast cancer can learn a tremendous amount from women who have already been treated.
Cancer has been unfortunately in my life. My mom's best friend is kicking ass in her battle with breast cancer. Both of my grandmas had cancer. I recently lost a friend to cancer.
Every woman needs to know the facts. And the fact is, when it comes to breast cancer, every woman is at risk.
Breast cancer alone kills some 458,000 people each year, according to the World Health Organization, mainly in low- and middle-income countries. It has got to be a priority to ensure that more women can access gene testing and lifesaving preventive treatment, whatever their means and background, wherever they live.
Breast cancer, whether I like it or not, is part of my family's story. That's why I am so passionate about raising awareness, because I have seen firsthand how it can impact others.
