I know that fear and I know it’s very prevalent. It’s the kind that wakes you up panting, gives you nightmares. It’s the kind that leaves you with constant anxiety and worry and it’s the kind that most people don’t understand as they tell you well just be grateful that you’re alive or don’t worry about it you’re fine now.”
That fear though I want you to hear is normal. It’s a normal feeling and emotion in a very abnormal situation that’s been very traumatic. You know what the worst-case scenario is because you’ve been going through it so of course you’re to be afraid. So give yourself some love and gentleness next time you’re feeling afraid and come back here for some support to help you in those times too.”

About Learn Look Locate:
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.
Learn Look Locate LLC provides resources for women who want to get involved in the fight against breast cancer.
