I recently got diagnosed with breast cancer. I was immediately overwhelmed with love and support. I realized that I have the most amazing people around me and they all wanted to help. Through this process, I learned a few things about how to organize and help a loved one (or yourself!) who is sick, just had a baby or suffered a recent loss.

1 – Set up a care calendar with websites like caring bridge or care calendar. Care calendar allows you to plug in the dates that you need help.

Skin cancer is the most common of all the cancers. For years, the majority of the black population and even many medical specialists have assumed that people of color cannot get skin cancer, but that assumption is very much false.

Believing themselves safe from the sun’s radiation, many people with darker complexions do not use sunscreen.
