More Black women are dying! Triple Negative breast cancer is disproportionately killing Black women. Research shows an unequal receipt of "prompt, high-quality treatment" for Black women, compared to White women. Recent studies also report a 77% survival rate among Black women, compared to a 90% survival rate of White women.
Triple Negative breast cancer, an invasive ductal carcinoma, which grows and spreads faster than other types of breast cancers. Triple Negative breast cancer is more common and more aggressive in younger Black women. It is difficult to treat, as hormone therapy and certain (HER2 targeted) drugs have proven to be ineffective, and chemotherapy is possibly a necessary treatment option.
Please take the time to self-examine your breasts every month. Self examination should begin no later than your 20th birthday. If you're unsure about how to examine your breasts, ask your health care provider or visit the nearest health department. Also ask about early screening options, such as mammogram, clinical breast exam, ultrasound, and MRI or Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

My most recent manuscript explains the importance of patients complying with their physicians' advice and directions. I chose this topic because I think it is very important for patients to be educated about the pros and cons of their behavior, as it relates to health, particularly cardiovascular health. Since we live in a litigious society, I felt it very necessary to remind my readers that attempting to sue physicians is not a good idea when they may be at fault, due to non-compliance. The bottom line is to get an understanding of your health status and treatment plan.
I provide examples of non-compliance and strategies for getting a better understanding of your health status and treatment plan.
Once it is published, I will announce it here. Chat with you, soon!
