My new column for the Huffington Post is out today and I am grateful to have a platform for sharing such a personal story and the importance of breast cancer awareness. In “What Your Mammogram Won’t Tell You” I share my journey of finding a lump in my breast back in August to having surgery in October to now, speaking with the best doctors I can find to make a decision about the future. Please click “LIKE” on my “What Your Mammogram Won’t Tell You” post and spread the word. You know your body better than anyone else; please be persistent when it comes to your health. It could save your life.
