I was diagnosed last year just after my 29th birthday with triple positive breast cancer.⁠

⁠I never knew how much quotes or words could inspire….until I was diagnosed with hormone positive Stage 2A breast cancer in 2015.

Hi, my name is Gina Lawson, I’m 38, and I have stage IV Her2+ metastatic breast cancer.

Stand up and show the world who you are. Enjoy the freedom that comes from self-acceptance and self-love. You are worthy of it!

I’ve been living flat since March 2016, first as a uniboober after I had my left breast removed, and without breasts since November 2017 which is when I had my second mastectomy.

In 2016 I noticed a bump on my collarbone. I ignored it for 2 years.

This quote pretty much embodies the way I am now viewing my life as a Stage IV cancer thriver: seize the moment, enjoy what I like, and accomplish what I want to, no holds barred.

Hi there, my name is Keiko and I reside in sunny San Diego.

When I was 14, my mother had breast cancer before she was 40. Because of that, I grew up knowing how important early detection is: it saves lives.

What happened next was nothing short of a miracle which included emailing my GP, having a mammogram, biopsy and ultrasound and being diagnosed within 6 calendar days.

In 2010 I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and just after healing from chemotherapy I was diagnosed with DCIS in 2011. ⁠

My name’s Gill, I’m a 57 year old breast cancer survivor in the UK and here’s my story.

In May 2019 I was 4 months postpartum and nursing my third baby girl and that’s when I felt it.

My name is Mindy! I was 29-years-old and in the best shape of my life when I came inside from running in the cold, only to discover what I would soon learn to be a malignant tumor.

No one told me that once I had metastatic breast cancer my sex life was likely to change.

I’m FLAT, FABULOUS, RADIANT, and just a little LOOPY! My name is Lisa!

I am a certified holistic coach and have always been “health conscious” but know what I know now about inflammation and stress I take even better care of ME.

What do you do when you hear those three words, “you’ve got cancer”? As a three time cancer thriver, those words no longer strike fear in me. You see, I have found Strength in my cancer journey.⁠

Living flat 24/7 has given me the confidence & bravery which I never had before. And freedom. Unconditional freedom to be who I am, unapologetically, wear whatever I want, & live happily flat out loud.

At the age of 28, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma.

I have four daughters 10 years old and under. I was 38 years old, and still breastfeeding my youngest, when I found a very small lump. My mom was going through breast cancer treatment at the time and I figured that it wouldn’t hurt to start performing self-exams.⁠⁠

I’m from Houston, TX and I am a Pharmacist. I was diagnosed at 28 years old with stage 2b breast cancer in the right breast. I’m ER/PR+/HER2- and BRCA2+.

My name is Jamelle Singleton. I am currently fighting Stage 3 Breast Cancer. I have been married for 5 years and I have 3 kids, 1 daughter and 2 bonus children! My husband is a teacher and I work for Cigna.⁠

For my own health and for the sake of my family, I wanted to do everything I could to prevent cancer and be alive to watch my kids grow up.

Cancer is unpredictable but I kicked it’s ass, I was not going to bring me down!

"While it sounds horrific to be grateful for having this journey, I learned so much about myself and living life full of love and gratitude."

I was always meticulous with my breast exams and mammograms and never felt a lump. My last mammogram was May 2017, so for the lump to be there, it had to have grown quickly. And for some strange reason, even before I received the news, I knew it was cancer.

The ultrasound revealed two lesions, and the MRI revealed two more, all in the same breast. Although I checked regularly, I never felt a lump. So here I was, with an 8-month-old, being told I had Stage 2 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC).

Throughout my journey I learned to live without fear, trust the process and to appreciate every waking day.

I was breastfeeding my son when I found a small pea like lump in my right breast. I didn’t think much of it, but after a month, it grew to the size of a blueberry.
