https://learnlooklocate.com/educate/patient-education/ ⭐ Eleonora Teplinsky, MD: “But membership is really just as important as active treatment. You know, there’s so much attention often paid to the active treatment for chemo and radiation and surgery and kind of that initial stuff. But, you know, then people are really left often feeling not done with my treatment. You know, I have all these side effects and how do I manage that? And they often feel a little bit lost or they don’t feel like they have the same support that they did. And really, I mean, I think that the survivorship period can be harder than that active period. And so I think that’s, you know, it’s an important part of cancer treatment that we don’t want to, you know, let people kind of slip through the cracks and not get the support and care that they need.”

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.
