Message of Hope and Self-Advocacy at Surviving and Thriving Luncheon

Pink Alliance, the Brazos Valley’s advocate for breast health and cancer support, hosted its 21st Surviving and Thriving Luncheon on Wednesday. Keynote speaker Kim Becking says her message is about taking care of yourself and being your own advocate. “You’re taking action because we know early detecting saves lives. I was 30 when I was diagnosed with breast cancer, 22 years ago, and I am here today because of that early detection,” says Becking. Becking, a New York Times Best-Selling author, says her book “Nordies at Noon” is about her and her friends’ experiences with being “too young” for breast cancer. “Twenty-two years ago, young women weren’t talking about getting breast cancer. We were being dismissed by our doctors, we were being told ‘come back in six months, come back in a year, let’s just watch it’. Our mortality rates were a lot higher, our cancers were more aggressive,” says Becking. This is why Becking encourages everyone to be their own advocate and listen to their body. “That early detection, I am living proof that it saves lives. We all need to be our own advocate and share our message with others,” says Becking. Since 2003, the Surviving and Thriving luncheon has raised $1.24 million to support local breast health initiatives, further cancer awareness, and serve breast cancer patients.
