WASHINGTON — More than 13,000 people will be diagnosed with breast cancer in our community this year alone. Breast cancer is the second-most common form of cancer in American women, with an average risk of 13% of development in a lifetime; this means 1 in 8 women will fall victim to it.
Chances are, you know at least one person who has been personally affected by breast cancer. While rates of development are close to even among the different ethnic groups, much like we saw during the pandemic, breast cancer hits marginalized communities particularly hard.
On Oct. 30, we are inviting breast cancer survivors and advocates to join WUSA9, our sponsors: John C. Flood of Virginia, Holy Cross Hospital, Taco Bamba, and Lopesan Costa Bavaro Resort, Spa & Casino Punta Cana for a special event with WUSA9’s Great Day Washington’s Team Kristen Berset, Ellen Bryan and a few more surprise guests. The event will wrap up WUSA9’s month-long devotion to telling the stories of breast cancer survivors, drawing attention to early detection, treatment and survival.
We'd also love to hear your stories of survival! Text us at 202-895-5599 a photo or video sharing how long you’ve been a survivor and what survival means to you, and we will share a few of your responses during the event on Oct. 30.
