This is a serious matter!!! Stay in tune with your body!! Get those mammograms and do your self breast examinations!!!

When Sonia Walker was 52, she thought nothing of going in for her annual mammogram. Even after initial results indicated she would need additional screenings, she wasn't too worried.

Today I participated in a charitable walk to support numerous individuals, including Cortena, Ms. Burns, my son's homeroom teacher, Ms. Baylis, Lynette Banks, Regina L., Miranda, Deangela, Laquita T., Nia, Kendretta Simpson, Tiawana and so many other women.I had the pleasure of walking alongside Meaghan Odum. While some of these women are survivors, others have sadly passed on, but all are united in their strength and resilience as fighters. I am committed to continuing my support for these women and will walk many more miles to contribute to the fight against breast cancer. I am grateful for this opportunity to join forces in the pursuit of a cure.

On Sunday, I had the privilege of participating as a guest panelist in the Pretty, Pink and Pampered event, which honored women with breast cancer and breast cancer survivors. For a moment, these women were pampered and freed from thoughts of their journeys and challenges. The panel discussion centered on breast cancer awareness, emphasizing the importance of self-breast examinations and mammograms. It was a blessing to be part of this movement, organized by Dr. Shalonda Quinn. I extend my gratitude for the opportunity to participate in this ceremony.

She found her own lump during self breast examination. She saved her life by God giving her that intuition to check her breast!!

In 2020, Jessica Katawick woke up with the sense that she needed to do a breast self-exam. At only 37 years old, the Kettering Health Labor and Delivery nurse wasn’t yet doing routine mammograms, but she had the feeling that something was off.

“In that moment,” she says, “I knew something intervened to tell me to check.”

In the shower, Jessica felt what she knew would be there: a lump in her right breast.

After a mammogram, ultrasound, and biopsy, Jessica was visited by her care team while at work at Soin Medical Center. They told Jessica she had triple-positive invasive lobular breast cancer and arranged for her to go home early.

But Jessica stayed.

“When I was in my patients’ rooms,” she says, “I was normal. I wasn’t sick.”

Throughout her treatment—six rounds of chemotherapy, 15 rounds of immunosuppressive therapy, 25 rounds of radiation, and a double mastectomy—Jessica continued to work and care for her patients. She found that it kept her mind busy, keeping her from focusing on the negative.

Today, Jessica is in remission with clear scans. She thanks all of her coworkers for being there for her during treatment, acknowledging that it “takes a village” when fighting cancer. She also encourages everyone to get their routine screenings and listen to their bodies when something isn’t right.
