Life is hard. Talking to your kids about cancer doesn’t have to be. We should be open, honest and transparent to mitigate uncertainty, which breeds fear. Keep in mind that these conversations will likely unfold over a period of time… kids, and adults, need time to process, digest, and ask questions. Kids deserve more credit than we give them for absorbing and being attune to their surroundings. I spoke with Angeline McCall at KUSA-TV, 9NEWS about how to approach these moments with intention. What are your experiences having these conversations? ⤵️ #mentalhealth #youthmentalhealth https://lnkd.in/gy4tZ_kv

Did you know that Bright Pink, an NGO focused on preventing breast and ovarian cancer in young women, founded Call Your Doctor Day in 2016? Bright Pink founded the holiday to encourage women to schedule their yearly well-women exams. If you’re a woman, this is a reminder to call your doctor to schedule your exam today! Even if you’re not, consider organizing an event and inviting a local doctor to speak about the importance of regular health check-ups.

Feel it on the first!!!! Hey hey! Today is March 1, which means you are seeing my monthly PSA reminding you to check your body for lumps, bumps, dimples, or changes. Cancer is indiscriminate and doesn't care about your age, race, class, job, religion, family status, or anything else. Knowing your body and checking it monthly increases your likelihood of early detection, and early detection saves lives. In addition to monthly self-exams, keep your regular medical screening appointments, get your mammograms, and advocate for yourself. If you feel something isn't right, demand more testing and get second opinions. Sometimes, people are dismissed for being "too young" or "not typical" for certain types of cancer like breast cancer. Advocate for yourself; there is no such thing as being too young or not typical. And men, this is for you, too. Check your parts every month! If you have questions or would like support, please DM me. #breastcancer #earlydetection #earlydetectionsaveslives #advocacy #selfadvocacy #feelitonthefirst
