I Am CBBC – Jennifer’s Story
“My doctor told me about CBBC. I believe if I have been told about the group when I was first diagnosed, It would have been of great help.” – Jennifer …
The Mayo Clinic seeks individuals to participate in a study on the views and perceptions of African American women with family or personal experience of breast and ovarian cancer on treatment experiences and genetic testing for cancer risk. Study participation involves speaking with a researcher on the phone or a video conference (e.g. Zoom) for about one hour. Participants will receive a gift basket to thank them for their time.
CBBC invites you to participate in “THERE’S POWER IN OUR VOICES!’ project, celebrating the 11th year of the organizations existence. The project is led by CBBC members Denise Johnson, Gina Bowser and DeLois Mix and will help chronicle CBBC’s 11-year history and expand the collection of survivor and supporter stories. With your consent, your story will be included with other profiles in a upcoming CBBC-published book used for outreach purposes, in addition to being added to our website. All personal demographic data will remain confidential.

Multiple studies indicate that the mortality rate of African Americans are higher than other ethnic groups. CBBC focuses on survivors, treatment and support for African Americans fighting breast cancer, but is not an exclusive organization. All are welcome to participate and join.
CBBC is an Arizona nonprofit whose mission is to provide high quality, reliable information and support to black breast cancer survivors in their breast cancer journey.
Nationally, one in eight women, as well as a minority of men, will be affected by breast cancer. The CBBC goal is to eliminate this reality. Learn the facts and get involved.
Through sharing our stories we will help break down the stigma of taking about and taking proactive action and learning how to win the battle.
These are just a few stories of courageous women fighting and winning the battle against breast cancer. Your story can inspire and bring hope to those recently diagnosed, individuals uncertain about what the future holds. This is where you can make a difference in the life of someone experiencing the same situation and diagnosis. Join us and share your inspiring story of hope and triumph.
