Today is World Cancer Day, and this year's theme is CLOSE THE CARE GAP. Who you are, and where you live, should not impact your cancer care. Yet right now, income, education, geographical location and discrimination based on ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability and lifestyle are just a few of the factors that can negatively affect care. I am one of the lucky few. I had access to the latest treatments and fantastic support from family, friends and colleagues both in 2020, when I was treated for breast cancer, and in 2023, when we found an ultra rare form of bone cancer, chondrosarcoma, in the base of my skull. I am beyond grateful. However, the equity gap in cancer care is costing lives. On this World Cancer Day, please spend just ten minutes reading about the issues facing cancer patients around the world here: https://lnkd.in/eh6rktjT What can you do to help? #worldcancerday #closethecaregap #cancerawareness #workingwithcancer

October is Breast Awareness Month. 🎀 Did you know that breast cancer affects more women than any other type of cancer and is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women? For Black women, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and is now the leading cause of cancer death, according to the American Cancer Society. While Black women are less likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer than white women, Black women are about 40% more likely to die from the disease. Our NAAWLI’s curriculum is built upon 8 Core Tenets of Professional Development. One of our 8 Core Tenets is Self- Care. Ladies, your health matters to us! 🩺💖 Here are a few reminders: For women over 40, an annual mammogram is highly recommended. But for our under-40 warriors, knowing your family history and keeping an eye on any lumps or changes is just as crucial. “Your health is a treasure, and early detection can make all the difference. Let's prioritize self-care and regular check-ins to ensure we're living our best, healthiest lives! “- Kara Barker,MHR,CPCU, CLU NAAWLI Brand Ambassador #BreastHealthInitiative #BreastCancerAwareness #WomensHealth #LiveYourBestLife #CancerSucks #YourHealthMatters
