Notable Quotes:
“It’s such an important disease, because just like colon cancer, if we catch it early enough, we could stomp it out. There’s a 99% 5-year survival rate for breast cancer if caught in these early stages.” – Dr. Berry Pierre
“As a primary care physician, or just a physician in general, you should always ask your patient the question and always allow your patient to give you the answer.” – Dr. Berry Pierre

“If we want to know ‘how do you fall into that 99%’, everything starts from ‘when did you start looking for it?” – Dr. Berry Pierre
“Them getting checked—those who are older than you—is just as important as you getting checked yourself.” – Dr. Berry Pierre
