I've been a breast cancer survivor for 20 years now. When I was 40, they found a smudge of something. It turned out to be malignant!
After three lumpectomies, six weeks of daily radiation treatments, and five years of estrogen blockers, my breast is a third of its size, but I've been cancer-free since 2006.
October is coming up, and it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Members responded to the question 'Tell us something we don't know about you' with an outpouring of deeply personal stories about resilience and giving back. Several members shared remarkable health journeys, including surviving rare childhood cancers, living with scoliosis, deafness, osteoarthritis, and implanted medical devices, all with humor and heart. A recurring theme was the quiet strength of community members who have faced hardship and chosen to lift others up, whether through paying for strangers' meals, donating supplies, or simply sharing their stories to inspire others.

I think it's important to tell my story.
My 40-year-old screening mammograms saved my life!
My cancer was malignant, and if we hadn't caught it then....
I am quick to show anyone my scar (under my arm),
and tell people my story.
