Breast Cancer Survivor and Author Visits IEHP Community Resource Centers; Free Signed Books to First 100 Attendees

“If I can help just one woman, or one man, understand that even though a breast cancer diagnosis is scary, it doesn’t have to be a life sentence nor equal death,” shared Franklin. “It is, however, a lifelong journey that one does not take alone, but with a village of survivors.”

“Mammograms and breast exams save lives,” added Franklin. “Women should educate themselves thoroughly about their bodies and medical history and should never be afraid to ask questions during doctor’s visits or get a second opinion. Early detection and knowledge are key.”
