Erika Hamilton: Proud of the message Sara Sidner shared on CNN

Erika Hamilton shared a post by Sarah Cannon Research Institute on LinkedIn:

“When public figures share their cancer diagnoses (although certainly not required or expected), it improves awareness and screening for women that identify with them and have a ‘this could be me’ moment.

Proud of the message Sara Sidner shared on CNN this week encouraging ALL women to be screened and aware of their bcsm risk even if they too have no family history of breast cancer.”

Quoting Sarah Cannon Research Institute’s post:

“SCRI expert, Dr. Erika Hamilton, joins Scripps News to discuss breast cancer awareness and screening following CNN’s anchor Sara Sidner’s recent announcement about undergoing treatment for stage 3 breast cancer.”
