IN OTHER NEWS...
came out of surgery a few hours ago. had a moment in the surgery room when i looked around and all the doctors and nurses were women.
am 57 years old and it was the first time in my life i looked around and it was all women, of all ethnicities and races, attending to my health.
#RepresentationMatters and, more than ever, we need to uplift #WomenInMedicine, especially #Surgeons #Radiologists #Anesthesiologists and yes, #Oncologists
won't know for another week (i think) if it's #cancer or not. so am not in the clear yet.
but let me tell you something:
every single doctor (all women, btw) told me had i waited another year to get a mammogram, it most likely would have developed into cancer.
so, for the love of your life and those who love you:
🗣️ GET A MAMMOGRAM
way too many #BlackWomen die of breast cancers, at younger ages, that could have been nipped at the bud had they gotten mammos in their 30s & 40s
