I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma – stage 2B, grade 3 – at 33 years old. I found the lump in March 2025, followed by a 3D mammogram in April and further diagnostic imaging and biopsy in June. On June 16, I received the official diagnosis. The tumor was confirmed to be fast-growing, high-grade, and triple-negative, which means it’s more aggressive and requires a proactive treatment approach.
My treatment plan includes chemotherapy first to target the tumor, followed by a double mastectomy. Depending on how the cancer responds, I may also need additional chemo or radiation afterward. Everything moved quickly after diagnosis, and while it’s been overwhelming to process, I’m facing this head-on and doing everything I can to stay strong and focused on healing.
