Jenny’s Breast Cancer Journey: Strength, Advocacy, and Hope

A Life-Changing Diagnosis

I was diagnosed with estrogen-positive Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, and the next year was an absolute whirlwind of tests and treatment. There were days when I did not recognize or feel like my body was my own.

Enduring Treatment and Facing Challenges

I completed a double mastectomy with reconstruction (DTI), chemotherapy, 25 rounds of radiation therapy, and started a 10-year course of endocrine therapy. I will also be having a hysterectomy to ensure that estrogen does not feed any future cancer cells.

Finding Strength and Purpose

This experience has taught me that life is so precious, and I want to soak in every minute that I have. My goals are to continue bringing awareness to early detection and screening, as well as advocate for the issues that women face both during and after treatment.

The Power of Positivity and Support

Having a positive attitude has made all the difference in my experience, and I hope to inspire and support others in any way I can.
