Beauties of the Month - Shaleea V.
I was diagnosed with Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS) at the age of 41 after my second mammogram when the tech noticed a difference in my images from my first mammogram just one year earlier. After that, I had a follow-up 3D mammogram and a biopsy that confirmed that there were cancer cells present. I sought a second opinion at Dana Farber Cancer Institute and subsequently received treatment there. I had a lumpectomy to remove the cancer cells in December 2018 followed by 16 rounds of radiation in February of 2019.

Beauties of the Month - LaTasha P.
I found a lump in my breast when I was 34-years-old, after completing my monthly self-exam. At that time, I had a 9-year-old & a 4-year-old son. Initially, I was told that I just had very dense breasts, but I knew something was wrong. I had been a teacher for 12 years and when school started in August, I was very drained and lethargic by the time I got home. Because of my age, my doctors did not want to send me to have testing beyond my initial mammogram because they thought I was too young. I was persistent and found a doctor that was willing to send me for an ultrasound, which led them to find two tumors and on October 6, 2011, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Invasive Breast Cancer. I was in a fight for my life; I had many rounds of chemo & surgery, but I didn’t give up! I am still here today healthy and happy living my life to the fullest! I make it a point to remind women to do their monthly exams and follow up if something does not feel right.

Beauties of the Month - Jacqueline C.
I want to nominate my mom (pictured) who is a Breast Cancer survivor and share her journey. It was a tough journey and she overcame that battle in August of this year. She lost her husband (my father) to cancer and then 7 years later, she was diagnosed herself. After battling a brain tumor and then Breast Cancer, she survived ! No battle is easy, but she handled the fight gracefully ! She is currently still going to appointments and taking chemotherapy in the form of a pill. To be my only parent standing strong with God as the head of our household is victory!

Beauties of the Month - Sasia M.
On October 17, 2013, I went to have my mammogram like I always do and I was not really worried or concerned about anything because I did a self-examination and didn’t FEEL anything. My examination was over and done with and I went about my business and then, I received a letter in the mail. I happened to be having a phone conversation and while we were talking, I went silent. He asked, “are you still there?” and I replied, “yes, I just received a letter stating that my mammogram was abnormal and that I needed to go have another one.”
