I was diagnosed with aggressive triple negative breast cancer at age 37 in June of 2022. I then underwent six months of chemotherapy, including the dreaded “red devil” chemo, followed by a double mastectomy. Because I did not have a complete response to treatment, I then went through six weeks of radiation followed by six months of oral chemotherapy. Also in the mix was an immunotherapy treatment as well as monthly hormone-suppressing shots in hopes of keeping my fertility. I then started on a new treatment drug, and am being monitored extremely closely due to my strong family history and the initial aggressive and fast-growing nature of my cancer.
