Dorothy: [00:00:00] The following was recorded at Hats and Henna High Tea. And in this episode, you will hear some profound and scary facts about breast cancer and access to care from women who have been through it, to the doctors who were charged with finding it and treating it, to the researchers who are making huge strides in treatment of breast cancer. All could mean a totally different fate for women, but only if access to care is available to all.

Tina: Hello, I am Tina Saenz. I am a member of The Rose board of directors. It’s important for me to be a member of The Rose board, uh, because it’s just such a fantastic organization that is helping save the lives of our mothers, our aunts, and our grandparents. I got connected with The Rose whenever I was getting my MBA at, uh, Rice and we’re, uh, Rice and The Rose have a relationship where students there can participate as non- active members of the, of the board.
Breast cancer has not touched my family or friends personally. What really speaks to me about this is I come from a more rural area, and so The Rose actively reaching women who are not in urban, medical center areas really touches me. My message for women about breast cancer prevention is to talk about it to your, to your friends, to your sisters, to [00:02:00] your aunts, making sure that everyone that you know is getting mammograms regularly. They’re doing their regular breast screenings and if they suspect any kind of problems to see their doctor and get your mammogram at The Rose.
