Happy Last Day of Chemo! One of the happiest days that I can remember was visiting my sister in the hospital to celebrate her last chemo treatment.  It has been three (almost four years) since this picture was taken and I am thrilled to share that my sister is thriving!

As Breast Cancer Awareness Month winds down and October turns into November we will gradually see less and less pink out in the world but that doesn’t mean that the advocacy stops.  Breast Cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women, regardless of race/ ethnicity (CDC, 2017). With all the advances in treatment, women are able to lead healthy fulfilling lives after being diagnosed.  Check out the FB live below on how to support survivors throughout the year.  Share this video and your comments 🙂
