My team is tracking every hostage who's been released and we are taking their photos and moving them to the opposite side of our office.
It's truly impotent and cowardly that Hamas has taken even babies as hostages.
HAMAS MUST RELEASE ALL THE HOSTAGES NOW! – at Washington, DC

No woman should exempt herself from this conversation. Take 5 & #AssessYourRisk for breast cancer at AssessYourRisk.org. #HealthTalk
A7: A healthy lifestyle is a great strategy to reduce risk! As a high risk woman, I work out most days and eat a low-fat diet #HealthTalk

A6: Women w/ a 1st degree relative who has been diagnosed w/ breast cancer have 2x the average risk of developing the disease. #HealthTalk
A6: After testing positive for BRCA1 mutation, I opted for a double mastectomy at 23. It’s a personal decision. #HealthTalk
So agree to check in with yourself monthly! #HealthTalk teapaw.org/sabinbmotwanimd/status…
A5: biggest deterent IMO: lack of education. Very important to educate people and examine their bodies regularly. #HealthTalk
Lindsay Avner retweeted
A5: A "could never happen to me" mentality. Unfortunately, cancer doesn't have a face until its yours or someone you love. #healthtalk
A5: Fear of finding something abnormal. We encourage women to be proactive & face it head on. Early detection saves lives! #HealthTalk
Another reason why it's so important to talk to ur family about health history! #HealthTalk teapaw.org/BeBrightPink/status/65…
A4: For example, if your mom was diagnosed w/ #BreastCancer at 45, talk to your doctor about starting mammograms at 35. #HealthTalk
A4: Women who want to know their risk for #BreastCancer can visit AssessYourRisk.org to get informed! #HealthTalk
Knowing your normal extends further than you think! #HealthTalk teapaw.org/BeBrightPink/status/65…
A4: Breast tissue extends up your collarbone, around to your armpits & into your breastbone. Be sure to monitor the entire area. #HealthTalk
