Sarcoma awareness month is important because it brings attention to an often neglected but lethal cancer. Most people are unaware of this particular form of cancer. This limits people’s interest in researching it. By celebrating “sarcoma awareness month”, we can encourage people to explore this under-researched cancer. This can help advance medicine and save the lives of many. Such events also provide the much-needed support that cancer fighters need to handle the difficulties and uncertainties of sarcoma. #SarcomaAwareness #BeatCancer #CHCS #GeorgiaPCA 💛🦴🩺

Breast Cancer Screening: A Personal Call to Action Breast cancer awareness isn't just a topic for October—it's deeply personal for me, and it touches far too many of us. My mom is a survivor because we caught it early. My cousin is a survivor because we caught it early. My daughter's Godmother is also a survivor because we caught it early - and I can say the same for so many more. As much as I have to celebrate, I'm also saddened because I've also lost friends to breast cancer way too soon. For Black women, the statistics are staggering—our chances of being diagnosed younger, at later stages, and with more aggressive forms of breast cancer are higher than those of our counterparts. But early detection can be life-saving. Regular screenings, self-exams, and mammograms are critical in catching breast cancer early when it’s most treatable. I want to encourage everyone, especially Black women, to prioritize their health and ensure that screening for breast cancer is part of their routine. Early detection saved my mom, my best friend, and cousin and could save you or someone you love. Together, let’s spread the word for our sisters, mothers, daughters, cousins and friends. 💗 #BreastCancerAwareness #EarlyDetection #BreastCancerSurvivor #HealthEquity #ScreeningSavesLives
