🎀 Breast Cancer Awareness Goes Beyond October 🎀

Although breast cancer is recognized nationally during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, for survivors like Renita Strong and the other courageous women we have highlighted in our Community Spotlights this month, breast cancer was never limited to just one month.

For Renita, the journey began at only 32 years old, when she was given a 30% chance to live. After aggressive chemotherapy, radiation, difficult days, faith, and the support of family, friends, and coworkers, she survived. In December 2026, Renita will celebrate an incredible 33 years cancer-free!💗🎉

Their stories remind us that the effects of breast cancer don't disappear when October ends. Survivors and their families may carry the physical, emotional, and personal impact of this disease year-round.

So as Breast Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, let us continue to educate, support, encourage screenings, listen to survivors, and honor their journeys every month of the year.

To Renita and every woman we have had the privilege of spotlighting this month: we see you, we celebrate you, and we honor your strength. 💕

🎀 Celebrating Strength, Courage & Hope all year long.

🎀 Breast Cancer Community Spotlight: Tiffany Gartley 🎀

Today, we honor Tiffany Gartley and her story of strength, courage, hope, and survivorship. 💗

At 40 years old, Tiffany attended a breast cancer awareness seminar and learned that it was time for her to begin screening. She felt perfectly fine, but she got the mammogram anyway. That decision ultimately led to her breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Her journey included chemotherapy, radiation, physical challenges, uncertainty, and changes that continued long after treatment ended. Today, Tiffany is cancer-free, but her story reminds us that survivorship is about more than beating cancer; it is also about quality of life, healing, self-advocacy, and learning how to live again.

Tiffany encourages women to get screened, ask questions, understand their treatment options and possible long-term effects, take someone to appointments, keep a journal, and advocate for themselves. Most importantly, don't wait until something feels wrong to take care of yourself.

💗 Her story. Her strength. Her voice.
🎀 Celebrating Strength, Courage & Hope

“Maybe cancer wasn’t just a story about me surviving. Maybe it was a way for me to live again.” — Tiffany Gartley

💗 Breast Cancer Survivor Soror Spotlight: Gail Cross Ridgeway 💗

In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Paducah Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. honors our Soror Gail Cross Ridgeway, a breast cancer survivor since 2020.

Following a clear mammogram in October 2019, Gail discovered a sore mass that following December and was later diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer. Her year-and-a-half journey included treatment at Orlando Health and a double mastectomy. A second opinion at Mayo Clinic provided additional guidance and support.

Through it all, Gail gives praise to Jehovah Rophe and credits her family and care team for helping her persevere. Her story is a powerful reminder of faith, strength, and the importance of support. 💕

🎀 KNOW THE FACTS

• Triple-negative breast cancer accounts for about 15% of all breast cancers.
• It lacks estrogen and progesterone receptors and does not have high levels of HER2.
• It is more common in Black women than White women and is often diagnosed at a younger age.
• Treatment is available, including chemotherapy and, for some patients, immunotherapy.

Join us in celebrating Soror Gail and thanking her for sharing her journey! 💗
