https://learnlooklocate.com/educate/patient-education/ 🌼 Eleonora Teplinsky, MD: “I think what you’re doing and what you’re doing with Learn Look Locate, it is really incredible and it’s a needed resource for so many. But I on the flip side, I do want to make the point that, you know, I think someone I had this had on my podcast years ago, kind of coined the term super survivor, he said, you know, you don’t have to be a super survivor, meaning, you know, you don’t have to do all of these things.
I think sometimes people feel that, oh, my gosh, I’m on social media, right? There’s a lot of imposter syndrome and this person’s doing this and their survivor and look, they’re leaving, they started this organization, we’re doing this and I don’t want to do that. You know, and so that’s okay, right? So my, I always say to the patients, you don’t have to take this diagnosis and reinvent yourself, but it’s okay. It’s great if you do and it’s great if you don’t. So I also just never want people to feel like they have to do something to it because you don’t.”

Cynthia Jordan, Founder of Learn Look Locate LLC in 2018 has generated a global movement to provide critical education for the early detection of breast cancer. It is estimated that one in eight women in the United States will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. While most of these cases are diagnosed in women over the age of 50, the disease can affect women of any age. Early detection is critical to survival, yet many women are not familiar with the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.
We advocate the importance of self-breast exams, what to look for when performing a self-exam, and when to see a doctor. We provide resources for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, as well as for their families and friends.
The five-year survival rate for women who catch their cancer early is nearly 100%. Here’s an important statistic. Many women do not perform self-breast exams or see a doctor for regular screenings. Learn Look Locate LLC wants to highlight the work of organizations around the world that are working to promote early detection of breast cancer. We will feature stories of women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and share their journeys.
There are several ways to diagnose breast cancer, including mammograms, biopsies, and ultrasounds. Once breast cancer is diagnosed, there are a few treatment options available, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. The best way to treat breast cancer is to catch it early and to get the best treatment possible.
There is a strong community of women who have been affected by breast cancer. In addition, there are a number of organizations and resources available to help women find the support they need.
