Hereditary cancer – do you want to know?
After being involved with breast cancer awareness for many years, I made the decision to go in for hereditary cancer screening at Hoag. It took me several months to finally decide that I wanted to know. My mom’s breast cancer did not have the markers of hereditary cancer, but since my paternal grandma died from […]

Unfortunately, having dense breasts means that regular mammography screening is insufficient for me. […]

Surviving Cancer and a 60 Mile Walk
This is a recap of Michelle’s 3 Day SGK walk, why she did it, and how she started The Boob Ride Pennsylvania. In August of 2014, I found a large lump in my right breast. I had already had breast cancer 7 years prior and had clean mammograms every year – It didn’t even cross […]
