Paula Gordon: If just one woman advocates for herself, and gets an early diagnosis, you’ll have done a mitzvah

Paula Gordon, Clinical Professor in the Department of Radiology at the University of British Columbia, shared a post by Natalie Kwadrans (Mommy Has Cancer), Author and Cancer Activist, on X/Twitter:

“Thanks for telling your story. If just one woman advocates for herself, and gets an early diagnosis, you’ll have done a mitzvah (good deed). For help advocating for yourself with a physician/NP, there are helpful scripts on mybreastscreening.ca and densebreastscanada.ca”

Quoting Natalie Kwadrans (Mommy Has Cancer)’s post:

“5 years ago today, my life changed. Watch my video, which explains one of the reasons I’m so passionate about changing Canadian Breast Screening Guidelines and how they impacted my life.”
