The National Consortium of Breast Centers is proud to partner with Breast Cancer Wellness Magazine as we move into this festive season — a time to reflect, reconnect, and uplift one another through the power of shared stories and community.

The Winter issue shines a powerful light on young survivors, echoing growing concerns about rising breast cancer rates in women under 50, particularly driven by increases in estrogen-receptor–positive tumors. This important focus underscores why awareness, research, and education matter more than ever.

Inside this issue, you’ll find inspiring and important stories, including:

✨ Roxanne Martinez’s journey through cancer and pregnancy, guided by faith and fierce courage

✨ Marygrace Graves’ heartfelt reflections after being diagnosed in her 20s

✨ Deana’s empowering story of trusting her intuition through motherhood and breast cancer

✨ How clinical trials are creating less-invasive options for DCIS patients

✨ Practical, essential advice on bringing sexual health to the forefront of survivorship and well-being

We’re honored to support this work and continue championing resources that strengthen, educate, and empower the breast cancer community.
