WELCOME

I created this sculpture, "Awareness", to bring healing to the people that see it, and to inspire women to take a more proactive approach to stay healthy. For this, I have shown it in several venues in the U.S., around Connecticut and in NYC, and it’s been viewed internationally through web-based galleries.

Well, I want to donate it, and in my research came across the issue of Dense Breast Tissue and how the current technology misses 40-50% cancer on this type of tissue, amongst other things. Therefore, since we cannot achieve anything alone, I created this blog as a mean to join forces with other women out there (and men too) that are as concern as me with the tissue issue, in order to demand a better technology to early diagnose breast cancer in women with Dense Breast Tissue! We need to raise our voices to be heard!

Do you have a story to tell? Please, feel free to email me your story at

dbtawareness {at} gmail {dot} com

...and I'll be happy to post it here. Please, make this blog yours as we cannot achieve anything alone... thank you in advance for FOLLOWING us!

United we can save lives, our lives!
