Atlanta, GA, 30303The Baton Foundation, Inc., in partnership with the Auburn Avenue Research Library on African American Culture and History, will host a community dialogue in recognition of breast cancer awareness month with Sherry B. Williams. Copies of Ms. Williams’ book, When Cancer Calls, will be available for purchase. This program is free and open to the public. Reserve seats here.About the ProgramThe journey of Blacks through their chronic illnesses is quite different from that of other ethnic groups. Often, the journey involves myth, misinformation, and fear. Because of late detection, Blacks are frequently diagnosed less and have higher mortality rates. Further, despite better treatment options, breast cancer diagnoses have not decreased in the Metro-Atlanta area or in the United States. Learn more and reserve seats here.
All who attend the “Let’s Talk: Candid Cancer Conversations” are amazed at the amount of useful information they receive. These powerful and informative conversations are inspiring and empowering to all who attend.
Lead by 4-time breast cancer survivor, Sherry, these interactive conversations help attendees better understand this awful disease. The more we know, the better we can help ourselves, our family, and our friends who are faced with a cancer diagnosis.
While there is no cure for cancer, being diagnosed early will allow treatment and survival. On the other hand, being detected late often does not give the patient a chance to survive.
Caucasian women are diagnosed with breast cancer more, yet African American women die more. “Candid Cancer Conversations” are designed to educate and empower so we can save lives with early detection. And you can get a signed copy of Sherry’s book, When Cancer Calls. It helps people cope and gives them hope when dealing with a cancer diagnosis. Join the conversation by attending an event listed on Sherry’s calendar at http://www.whencancercalls.info
Or, invite Sherry to speak at your meeting, event or church group during or after October.
