Senators recognize Susan G. Komen and breast cancer survivors during floor remarks
Summary
Senators recognized physician associates and guests from Susan G. Komen; Senator Frizzell, a breast cancer survivor, thanked colleagues and medical providers and described her experience during a personal-privilege moment.
During a moment of personal privilege on Feb. 11, senators recognized physician associates in the chamber and guests from Susan G. Komen. Senator Michaelson Janae asked the physician associates and guests to stand and thanked them for their caregiving roles, praising Susan G. Komen’s work to ‘‘save lives through preventing and curing breast cancer.’'
Senator Lisa Frizzell spoke about her own experience as a breast cancer survivor: "It was almost a year ago that I stood before you that I have breast cancer. And that started a journey that has been one of the hardest of my life," she said. Frizzell thanked the chamber and medical providers for their support and praised Susan G. Komen.
The remarks were ceremonial and intended to acknowledge survivors, medical professionals, and advocacy groups; no legislative action was attached to the recognition.
