Dr. Shawn McKinney talks Triple Negative Breast Cancer

Welcome to Let’s Talk About It with Regina Lacking — where we have real conversations about the topics that matter to our health, our lives, and our communities. In this important conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Shawn McKinney, Breast Surgeon, to discuss triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), a type of breast cancer that deserves greater awareness and understanding. 💗 IN THIS CONVERSATION, WE DISCUSS: What triple-negative breast cancer is and how it differs from other types of breast cancer Risk factors, including family history, genetics, and disparities affecting Black women Symptoms, breast changes, and the importance of timely evaluation Current treatment approaches and advances in care Nutrition, physical activity, alcohol consumption, and other lifestyle factors in the broader discussion of breast cancer risk reduction Self-advocacy, support, and questions to discuss with your healthcare provider WHY THIS CONVERSATION MATTERS Breast health education is about more than awareness. It is about equipping ourselves with information, recognizing when to seek medical attention, and feeling empowered to participate in decisions about our health. Lifestyle behaviors can support overall health and may help reduce certain cancer risks, but no diet or lifestyle practice guarantees prevention of triple-negative breast cancer. A cancer diagnosis is never a reason to blame yourself. 💬 JOIN THE CONVERSATION What is one thing you learned from this discussion?
