Beatriz

Stage 2, Portugal

“I’m Beatriz, also known as “Lady Bea” from the brand new project “Lady dos Lenços”. “Lenços” is the Portuguese word for scarves.”

For breast cancer survivors, the question “Is my cancer coming back?” often lingers in their minds. Thanks to breakthrough technology in cancer monitoring, there’s now a powerful tool providing clearer answers: ctDNA testing. Dr. Barry Rosen, Senior Medical Advisor at Learn Look Locate, shares his expertise on this revolutionary approach to breast cancer surveillance.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer January this year right through the worst moment of the pandemic in Portugal but hopefully everything went well! I stated chemo on February and tomorrow I have my 8th session of 16.Two weeks ago I created the project, Lady dos Lenços where I send without any costs scarves to ladies going through chemo and that lost their hair, like me. ( Portugal only )I thought since I would not spend money in hairdressers and beauticians soon, I could give them this little self esteem treat for free. Portugal population is of 10.800 inhabitants. I wanted this project to involve everyone so I decided to have tutorials on how to wrap your scarf, both for ladies with cancer and without.

And it o worked! Everyone is super engaged! The page was a success! Second day I already had an invitation to go to national tv and with that, many people willing to donate with scarves and requesting theirs. In two weeks of project I had 60 requests.

My moto is, the cancer does not define me . I have cancer but I still can feel pretty to go out the trash or the supermarket. I’m 33, this will change my life but not my self. I want to be a case of success- til then , making ladies prettier !
