Five years ago, at the age of 35, I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. My cancer was aggressive, and so was my treatment: chemotherapy, radiation, a mastectomy and numerous reconstruction surgeries. But one treatment ultimately saved my life: a medication called Herceptin, which was developed through funding from Susan G. Komen. Thanks to Komen and its many supporters like you, I survived. I promise to work every day until we fulfill Nancy Brinker’s promise to her sister Susan G. Komen: to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures. OCTOBER T W TH BREAST CANCER IN ATLANTA: Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosis in women in Georgia. It is also the second most common cause of cancer deaths in Georgia women. Early detection through screening is key to survival. However, many of Metro Atlanta’s women are diagnosed at later stages, making both screening and diagnostic services vitally important to the health of our community. When combined with educational outreach conducted by Komen Atlanta, these services provide health care options for all at any stage of breast cancer. 4 11 18 5 Columbus Day 12 19 6 Metastatic Breast Cancer Day 13 20 2015 7 14 21 F S 1 2 3 8 9 10 16 17 15 22 National Mammography Day Worship in Pink October 23-25, 2015 23 24 Halloween 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 photo by: Cara Pastore – www.F22studio.com More than 1 million people served in METRO ATLANTA since 1991 NOVEMBER S M Daylight Saving Time Ends 1 T 2 W 3 2015 TH F S 4 5 6 7 Veterans Day 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 26 27 28 Thanksgiving Day 22 29 23 30 24 25 GET SCREENED: Have a clinical breast exam at least every three years starting at age 20, and every year starting at age 40.

Each year, more than 200,000 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in women and more than 2,000 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in men in the United States. Early detection saves lives. In 1980, the 5-year relative survival rate for women diagnosed with early stage breast cancer was about 74%; today, that number is 99%. photo by: Meagan O'Neal – www.meaganophotography.com • Make-up by: Jennifer Denise S 14 21 As a 3-time breast cancer survivor, my promise is to educate, to inform, and to be an inspiration to others. Here are the top 5 things I learned during my journey: 1. In the words of songstress Erika Badu, I am not my hair, and most certainly I am not my boobs! 2. Always put your prostheses in the same place at night. It is a terrible thing to be ready to start your day and you cannot find your STUFF! 3. A sense of humor really is medicine for the spirit and nourishment for the soul! 4. One must launch your own individual battle against breast cancer. I learned I had to do ME! I had to find my own statement of strength and victory. To signal my victory, with my surgeon’s approval and absolute delight, I completed a mastectomy tattoo across my chest, a flower garden that reminds me of how victorious I have been and how beautiful I am in spite of or even because of breast cancer. 5. And, early detection leads to long life!
