They Lied to Black Women About Breast Cancer—She Paid the Price [FULL VERSION]

Albert Takem M.D

Black women are still dying from breast cancer—because they are not catching it early and  they are not treated in time.

In this raw and necessary conversation, Dr. Regina Hampton, a breast surgeon on the frontlines, joins Dr. Takem to confront the hard truths. We unpack the cultural myths, and deadly delays that are costing Black women their lives.

From trusted “natural remedies” to avoiding a mammogram, this episode does not hold back. It is a call for truth over fear, science over shame, and action over avoidance.

🎯 In this episode:
- The tragic case of a young woman who died believing vitamins will cure her breast cancer. 
- Why early-stage cancer still leads to late-stage deaths in our community
- The fear of surgery, chemotherapy, and “looking like a woman”
- How to demand better care and make the system work for you

🗣 Whether you are a survivor, a daughter, a sister, or a friend—you cannot afford to skip this one.

🎙 Hosted by Dr. Albert Takem | Creator of AfroFit: Truth. Culture. Accountability. Action.
