With New Hampshire having one of the highest rates of breast cancer in the country, early detection is critical.

I recently had the opportunity to chat with the Union Leader and highlighted the importance of:

🔹 Annual mammograms starting at age 40 (for average risk women)
🔹 Performing self-exams and reporting any changes to your doctor
🔹 Understanding the risks of dense breast tissue (40% of women have dense breasts!)
🔹 Embracing new technologies like contrast-enhanced mammography and AI-assisted imaging
🔹 Dispelling misconceptions about radiation exposure

At CMC, we’re proud to offer advanced tools and expert care that empower women with better outcomes.

American Society of Breast Surgeons 26th Annual Conference- Imagine 1900 breast friends from across the country and around the world sharing data and learning how to improve breast cancer outcomes!

Here is a close up of a couple of my favorite breast friends 💝

Oncoplastic Surgery (OPS) is a cornerstone of my practice- allowing me to successfully remove breast cancer while also improving the aesthetic outcomes for my patients.

This week I had the unique privilege of teaching alongside an esteemed international panel of breast & plastic surgeons. By expanding surgical skills we help improve patients’ experiences, satisfaction and cancer outcomes.

Grateful to our ASBrS Society for this opportunity as it marks my 8th consecutive year in this role. This year our panel included experts from Canada, Brazil, the UK … and of course sweet home New Hampshire to name a few.

Quick trip in MRI this morning before the OR
💝💪🏻 📣
Do you know your personal risk of breast cancer? While the average woman has a risk less than 15%, there are factors that can significantly raise that risk, such as extreme breast density, family & gynecological history, etc.

My personal tyrer cuzick score is “off the charts” at 54%. To remain proactive in my breast health plan and “practice what I preach” I have my mammogram every year, and in addition alternate between ABUS and MRI each year as well. Knowing my risk allows me to have an enhanced screening plan. It means IF there is breast cancer to find, I’m going to find it early.

Early detection is everything.

Get your mammograms.
Ask your doctor about your risk, breast density and updated screening recommendations.

The 20 Outstanding Women event recognizes leaders throughout our communities with an unwavering commitment to making our state a better place to live and call home.

I was incredibly honored to return to the stage this week as the keynote speaker at this year’s award ceremony.

The best part? Having the opportunity to bring my girl along, surrounding her with strong women! 💪🏻👏

Know an outstanding NH woman that deserves recognition? Next year’s nominations will likely start around december/january. 👀📣❗️

Let’s talk about RADON.
⚠️ ⛰️ 📣‼️
“New Hampshire is well known as the “Granite State”. This granite, in addition to our soil, contains small amounts of uranium. The uranium naturally breaks down and forms radon gas that we can breathe.

Unfortunately, radon has no color, taste or smell to let you know you are breathing it. The only way to know if you have radon in your home is to test for it. As radon is a gas it can enter your home, school or work place and become part of the air we breathe.

There is more than one way radon can enter into your home, school or workplace. It can enter through the foundation, or for those with private wells, through sinks, showers, and toilets.

Breathing radon gas can harm your lungs. Over a long period of time, this will raise the risk of lung cancer.”

As a cancer surgeon I can confirm our cancer rates in this state are far too high! (See link below to see where your state ranks) As a mama I’m always looking to keep our family safe.

We had our home tested this week and radon levels were SO HIGH 😵‍💫🫣📣

So get that radon checked! ✅ It can fluctuate from season to season and year to year. If normal once, don’t assume it’s fine now.

We used the following company. They start work very soon. They have been very informative and professional.

Another great Cycle with your Surgeon Night!
So grateful to partner with the amazing Livestrong/Granite State YMCA team! They brought our survivors relaxing chair yoga, free memberships and of course the main attraction: the “FENDER BLENDER.” (It’s an exercise bike connected to a blender if that’s not clear. Pics of me not included, ya have to attend for that entertainment 😂)

We had the pleasure of being joined by Renee Plodzik- breast cancer survivor and author of “Eat Well Move Often,” and founder of FIT4aCAUSE.

After yoga l, we blended up several healthy and delicious smoothie recipes for our guests to enjoy.

Our Cycle Night has become the perfect wellness event- inspiring us all to set and keep those New Year’s Resolutions!

“Today isn’t the day you lose your breast, today is the day you get rid of cancer.”

This is one of the first things I say to my patients the day of their surgery. My 4 mastectomy day was brightened when my second patient had this to say.. 🦄💪🏻💝

Had the opportunity to join these strong women and fierce breast health advocates to create an “Eye on New Hampshire” interview to air soon on WZID!

This new legislature goes into effect in January 2025 and will greatly improve early detection and breast health for women in New Hampshire. The bill aims to cover diagnostic and supplemental breast imaging. THIS IS HUGE! I’ll post the interview sooon.
