Navigating breast cancer online can feel overwhelming — and not everything you read tells the full story. 💗

🩺 Dr. Carinne Anderson reminds us that *breast cancer isn’t just one type of cancer.*

There are many subtypes, each with different treatments, timelines and outcomes — which is why comparing your journey to someone else’s can sometimes be confusing.

It’s OK to research online and learn about your condition, but also check with your care team to make sure the information you find is accurate and helpful for you. Reliable info = empowered choices.

Watch to learn how to find trusted information about breast cancer.

What does it mean to have dense breasts — and why does it matter? 💭

On a mammogram, both dense tissue and potential lumps appear white, which can make it harder to detect signs of cancer early.

Dr. Jeanne Capasse explains breast density and tissue composition. Younger women, those with lower body weight or on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be more likely to have dense breasts.

Knowing your breast density helps your care team recommend the right screening plan — sometimes that means additional imaging like ultrasound or MRI for clearer results. 💗

Ever wonder why scary movies make your heart race or your stomach twist? Turns out, fear hits more than just your nerves... it hits your whole body. It’s not just the jump scares — it’s science.

💓 Heart: Your pulse spikes and blood pressure rises as your body prepares to “fight or flee.”

🧠 Brain: Interprets on-screen danger as real, kicking your fight-or-flight response into gear.

💪 Muscles: You tense up or grip your seat — your body’s bracing for action.

🧬 Hormones: Adrenaline and cortisol surge, then endorphins kick in once the scare passes.

🍿 Digestion: Blood flow shifts away from your stomach, leaving that knot-in-your-gut feeling.

So next time you jump at a horror movie, know it’s your body doing exactly what it’s designed to do.

Read more about how fear affects your heart, gut and hormones this spooky season. 🎃👻

Not all risk factors for breast cancer are created equal. 💗

Dr. Lisa Curcio explains that understanding your risk starts with knowing what’s modifiable (like lifestyle choices) and what’s non-modifiable (like family history).

For example, a grandmother diagnosed at 80 carries a different level of risk than a mother who developed breast cancer before menopause. And your lifetime exposure to estrogen and history of breast disease also play a role. There’s even an algorithm we use to help calculate that risk more precisely.

Knowing these differences helps you and your care team create a screening plan that’s right for you.

The 2025 Najah Nesheiwat Care Fund Award has been presented to Putnam Hospital’s Stroke and Joint Coordinator, Tiffany Dickey, who will use the funds to further her stroke education and share her learnings with the stroke team. 🎓💙

The Foundation extends its sincere gratitude to the Nesheiwat and Youssef families for their continued commitment to Putnam Hospital staff. We are honored to commemorate Najah Nesheiwat each year on October 15—her birthday. 🎂✨

Nesheiwat’s daughter, Renee Youssef, shared her family’s appreciation for the compassionate care her mother received during her stay at Putnam Hospital:

“Since 2010, it was my father’s vision to remember our mother each year on her birthday by showing appreciation for others and it’s our dream to continue their legacy this way. Jamal and Najah Nesheiwat were more than just wonderful parents; they instilled in us the unique value of caring and giving back.

My brothers and I grew up in a world where volunteering and helping others was fundamental and natural. We proudly and humbly express our deepest gratitude to every department and caregiver at Putnam Hospital whose dedication makes a difference every day. Congratulations to the selfless team for your work in helping stroke patients and their families. Our family supports you all as we continue my parents’ legacy.”
