My treatment included chemotherapy for twelve weeks, going once a week, then radiation, which was four weeks Monday through Friday, and I also had an antibody treatment infusion I'm here today cancer free, and I believe early detection with mammogram is what saves your what really saved my life. So there's so many motions that you go through during your breast cancer journey, and I'd like today just to go through probably the very first feeling I had, which was fear. Fear

Hey, thanks so much for being on here, for being so vulnerable and open. Breast cancer runs in my family, so it's something that I've been aware of from a young age. But it's really amazing to hear other people's experiences with it and surviving it and spreading that knowledge. It's really amazing. So I'm tuned in. I'm here to listen. And thank you for sharing

You. Thank you for your input. I'm sorry that you have a family history of breast cancer and a connection to breast cancer, but be vigilant, get your yearly mammograms, and if you feel anything abnormal in your breasts, get to the doctor right away, even if it's before that year. I mean, I don't know how old you are, but guidelines here in the United States start at 40 with a yearly mammogram
