Since April 24, 2026, I have quietly been battling stage 2 breast cancer. It was found by my OBGYN during my annual visit in February and confirmed in April. I have had surgery and they successfully removed the tumor and any trace of the cancer. I have complete radiation but will continue with other treatment over the next 5 years; the hardest part is complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why am I sharing this? I am sharing this to tell each of you to go to your regular check up and get your mammograms because it could save your life. Had I decided to skip my annual or not get a mammogram, I could have a very different story right now. God has put it on my heart to share my story in hopes that I will save someone else\u2019s life that may be feeling something and is too afraid to get it checked out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Know Your Breast Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Educational information about screenings, mammograms, breast changes, risk factors, and talking with a healthcare professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support & Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
