Hi. My name is Farah Williams. I live in the Atlanta, GA with my husband Jeffrey and our two great dogs. Sugar is our little perky Jack Russell terrier and Cane is our big, puppy-faced Presa Canarios. I enjoy long walks, jogging, road trips, traveling and pleasure boating.
I love helping people and making a positive difference in people’s lives. The joy that I get from helping others was the driving force behind my decision to enter the medical field in 1985.
Today, I have a very unique perspective on breast health and breast cancer. My perspective is unique because not only am I a 15 year breast cancer survivor, but I am also a physician who performs and interprets comprehensive breast cancer screening examinations that diagnose breast disease and breast cancer.
I want to help people in any way I can. Breast health is so important for women and I want to do my part as a survivor and clinician. If anyone has questions about family medical history and how it impacts your risk, the importance of the self breast examination, how to perform the self breast examination, when to have a clinical breast examination done, what to do if your doctor finds a problem, mammography – when to start, how often should you have one, what type of mammogram is best, breast ultrasound, breast diseases (non-cancerous and cancerous), breast biopsies, what to do after a diagnosis of breast cancer. Or if you need advice, or just want to vent then I’m here for you.
Feel free to contact me anytime on Facebook or my Twitter page or via email. We really need to get the word out to young women; I was diagnosed at the age of 32. Starting self-breast exams early is the key. Many of us don’t know how to do a self-breast exam. I know the importance of a self-exam, that’s how I found my breast lump. Remember, early detection is the key. It can literally save lives!!
