Cathy
I started going for yearly screening mammograms 12 years ago, at age 38, because my mother had been diagnosed with breast cancer at age 48. Subsequently, my sister was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 46. Both are doing well, and my mother is now in her late 70s. I thought that by taking a…
Maddy
Never did I imagine breast cancer would be part of my life story. Certainly not at 38, with two small children. I was diagnosed on Nov 1, 2024, but my story really begins in March 2023. I found a lump in my right breast during a self-exam. Called my doctor right away. She didn’t ask…

Dana
In April 2025, I started feeling different. At first, it was easy to explain away. I was gaining weight, feeling off, and experiencing symptoms that seemed consistent with perimenopause. I went to my doctor looking for answers, but I was reassured that this was simply part of getting older. Still, something didn’t feel right. During…
Eugénie

My name is Maureen and I am a retired Canadian Military Police Sergeant. When I was 50 years old, I was diagnosed then treated for Triple Negative invasive ductal carcinoma.
