I felt normal I felt healthy I felt young you are not too young for breast cancer you’re not too young for any cancer everyone would look at me and say you know wow you’re so young to have had breast cancer and I’m like well here I am I reported it to my GYN um doctor and at first they did not uh think that they felt anything but I was really persistent and said no you know there’s something definitely there can you please you know due diligence and kind of like do some extra checking I’m glad that I did push for myself cuz you know I I did have a [Music] tumor even so now after my treatment has been completed I’m still going through hormone treatment um and they’re treating me as if I was a 47-year-old woman and I’m in indeed 37 so it’s like the way that they’re comparing my age to that of an older woman who has gone through whatever I’ve gone through it’s you know significantly a huge [Music] difference I’ve never been told know by a doctor before but something in me knew something wasn’t right [Music] every woman that I know that has been diagnosed with breast cancer that I personally know is married had children have that family I am a single woman I don’t have children so it is so difficult to be diagnosed in your 30s I still have my whole life ahead of me but so time was taken from [Music] me no symptoms no family history um felt fine I was healthy I was young it was a routine screening um and also just my particular stage of disease right on the cusp I just can’t stress enough um I I I wouldn’t be sitting here probably right now had I waited another month I would probably still be in chemotherapy so it’s it’s so important um however scary it might seem to to be checked and to stay on top of it
