Be brave and get your Mammogram! Early detection saves Lives! I want to give back and raise money for Breast Cancer organizations!

In July 2023, I had my first routine Mammogram ever at the age of 45 years old! Then I was told I needed a second mammogram to compare to the first one so 1 week later, I had another one plus a sonogram. After that appointment, I needed to get 2 biopsies and further testing. This was one of the scariest times in my life!! In August, I was told the devastating news that I had Breast Cancer! I had 2 different kinds in my right breast which was DCIS and Invasive Ductal Carcinoma plus I was ER+/PR+ so hormone therapy medication is my next 5 years! All I could think about was if my 12 year old daughter could get it also! After some genetic testing, I’m hopeful that it’s not hereditary.

On November 7, 2023, my body was changed forever when I had a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction, and lymph node removal (which told us it didn’t spread thank goodness)! Then 3 weeks after my first surgery, I had a big infection which led to further complications and more unexpected surgeries. That was Not in the plans! Now on my 1 year anniversary in November, I’ve had a total of 5 surgeries and 2 infections! I’m ready to tell my journey and bring awareness to other women to get their Mammograms….at any age!! Don’t wait because it can save your life! So now I’m going out of my comfort zone and will be walking “Candy Land style” at the Runway for Hope, and have so much fun while doing it as well as meet other 50+ amazing Survivors! 💪 Please consider helping me to raise money for The New England Breast Cancer Alliance which is a non-profit organization that donates money to helps with Breast Cancer Research, and this is the 3rd year of this amazing event! I’m so excited and period to walk with other Survivors! Thank you ALL for your love and support 🙏 💝
