In this time of social distancing, we know that many areas of life will change for those affected by breast cancer. We know that screening appointments, doctors appointments and routine check-ins may need to be delayed or canceled. And, we know that many of you may not be able to rely on your usual sources of support – support you count on to make it through each day.
Please know that we are here for you. We care about you, and we will do all we can to be in this fight together, with you.
Please check here often for updates!

This week’s topic: Creating a Bridge Drawing
Screening Mammography during COVID-19
Susan G. Komen® suggests that healthy women of average risk delay routine breast cancer screening until later this year. However, people who are displaying warning signs for breast cancer should contact their health provider to determine their need for diagnostic imaging. This recommendation is to minimize exposure to and potential spreading of COVID-19 and to help support the health care system’s need to focus scarce health care capacity and resources on managing the pandemic and those most in need of support.
Please know that warning signs for breast cancer are not the same for all women. The most common signs for breast cancer are changes to the look or feel of the breast. Visit komen.org to learn more about the warning signs for breast cancer. See a doctor if you notice any change in your breast.
Coronavirus – What People with Cancer Should Know…
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has published guidance and information on their website specifically for patients undergoing cancer treatments:
