I rarely drink. Breast cancer does not run in my family and yet here I am with stage three breast cancer. It is hard to say out loud.” Sara then talked about her treatment plan, explaining that she is currently in her second month of chemotherapy treatments and will soon undergo radiation and a double mastectomy. “Stage three is not a death sentence anymore for the vast majority of women,” Sara explained, “but here is the reality that really shocked my system when I started to research more about breast cancer, something I never knew before this diagnosis: If you happen to be a Black woman, you are 41 percent more likely to die from breast cancer than your white counterparts.” Sara also voiced the importance of staying on top of your health. “To all my sisters, Black and white and brown out there, please for the love of God get your mammograms every single year,” Sara said. “Do your self-exams.
