When Betty Ford became first lady in 1974, she faced a breast cancer diagnosis just weeks after moving into the White House. Rather than keep it private, she shared her experience with the nation. At a time when breast cancer was rarely discussed, her openness encouraged screenings that potentially helped save lives. Betty continued to champion awareness and treatment throughout her life, leaving a powerful and inspiring legacy. -- Image 1: White House Historical Association Image 2: David Hume

One of the first times breast cancer was spoken about in the U.S. in a public forum was when Betty Ford announced her diagnosis. This was a huge step for breast cancer and the public stigma that it carried. We are grateful for Mrs. Ford’s bravery and for how far we have come since then. #CancerFilm #HistoryofBC http://cancerfilms.org/ | Susan G. Komen
