Clare Dowling Dougherty: Knowledge is power when it comes to early detection of breast cancer

Clare Dowling Dougherty, CEO at BREM Foundation to Defeat Breast Cancer, shared on LinkedIn:

“Today millions of women are left uncovered and unprotected when it comes to early detection of breast cancer. Please take a moment to read this eye opening piece in Ms. Magazine, which details the author Elizabeth Silver’s journey through Stage 3 breast cancer at age 42 and her eventual understanding of the importance (and frequently missed opportunity) of supplemental screening for women with dense breast tissue.

Knowledge is power when it comes to early detection of breast cancer. Brem Foundation to Defeat Breast Cancer advocates for women to take control of their breast health.

Join us in building your understanding risk factors such as dense breast tissue and family history, and using that actionable information to make a plan with your healthcare provider.”
