Breast exams are an essential part of every woman's preventative health care, especially African American women.
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnoised cancer among African American women. The breast cancer death rate for women aged 45-64 years was 60% higher for Black women than White women because tumors are often found at a later, more advanced stage, and are larger. Black women under age 40 have a higher incidence of breast cancer than any other group.
Black women are three times more likely to develop triple negative breast cancer. Triple negative breast cancer ia an aggressive form of the disease that tends to grow and spread more quickly than most other types of breast cancer, and has fewer treatment options.
So ladies get tested. Luv & Blessins!!!
