Q: Hi, Kerry, this is Noorah from Chicago. I heard your mom is a breast cancer survivor. What happened and how did it affect you personally?
- A: My mom is a breast cancer survivor and she is with us today because of early detection because the technology in breast cancer has evolved to the point where we can save woman’s lives fairly easily if we find out early enough. My mom was one of those lucky women who went in for a mammogram and knew that something was going on, and she was able to start treatment from the very beginning. We do not have that advantage for ovarian cancer, which is why L’Oreal Paris is working so hard for awareness and research.

I was diagnosed through early detection, so she's absolutely right about that being the main way to attack the disease.
