Is Your Favorite Word Huh? Mark Alyn talks about his life before hearing aids!
Autumn Huiit did not have a very good Valentine’s Day in 2017. That’s the day she was diagnosed with breast cancer, as she shared with Late Night Health’s host Mark Alyn. Three surgeries (including a double mastectomy) later, this Kentucky gal has a new set of boobs for the second half of her life. She refers to them as the California “welcome” package! Autumn is grateful to Susan G. Komen. She will be taking a drug they helped fund, Tamoxifen, for the rest of her life. She credits the organization for helping to save her life. That’s why she’s More Than Pink and will be at Dodger Stadium on March 9 for the LA inaugural MORE THAN PINKWalk™.
Autumn is one of many survivors who attribute their lives directly to the timely diagnostic services Komen funds and nearly every survivor has benefited from treatments and technology developed through Komen’s research efforts, just as she has. Susan G. Komen is the only organization that dedicates 75% of net proceeds to the community in which it was raised. The remaining 25% of the net funds raised support Komen’s National Research Program, which is regarded as the most innovative and responsive grant program in breast cancer research.
