Breast Cancer Updates
On September 1, 2023, at the age of 33, I was diagnosed with Triple Positive Ductal Carcinoma, a type of Breast Cancer that is reactive to hormones. The doctors explained it is treatable, have a plan in place, and are optimistic about the outcome. So no need to fear the worst! ❤️
As someone who has been relatively healthy up until this point and understood little about cancer, I wanted to share my experience in hopes that it helps others going through a similar journey and raise awareness. Breast Cancer can affect anyone, not just women, so please be sure to do a monthly breast self-exam and have any suspicious lumps checked out by your doctor.
