"Triple negative" is one of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer, and it strikes Black women more than twice as often as white women.Breast cancer is the number one cancer among women and the second leading cause of death for women after heart disease. But it's even more deadly for women of color.
One Houston woman has spent decades trying to change that. In fact, few women know more about breast cancer than Karen Jackson, who's fought that battle repeatedly."Four times I had to confront breast cancer, and four times I had to find a new normal," Jackson said. When she was diagnosed in the '90s, she says Black women were often blamed by doctors for their own cancer.
"When I was diagnosed, I went to other organizations that were existing," she says, "I learned a lot. But I would go home with a sense of emptiness and loneliness."
