“We don’t know for certain
why black women are less likely to have mammograms,
but many women tell us they just don’t want to know.
They don’t want to think about having a life-threatening illness
or they don’t believe they have access to the care they need to beat it,
so they decide they’d just rather not know.”
- Ann Greenhill, executive director of Susan G. Komen for the Cure Tarrant County (Texas)
