Stories of Hope

I am thirty-five years old and a two-time breast cancer survivor. It didn't run in my family, I was very healthy, and like so many of us, I never imagined it could happen to me! I was putting lotion on and discovered a pea-sized lump. My husband insisted I go to my doctor. It was caught early, and I had a lumpectomy, chemo, radiation, and countless shots. It came back, but was caught early again. I am in remission! Know your body.
