I was diagnosed with Stage 1B, Triple Negative Breast Cancer on April 23, 2024. TNBC is an aggressive, invasive subtype that makes up about 15-20% of all breast cancers. It’s more common in women under 40 and associated with genetic mutations in the BRCA1 & BRCA2 genes.

I’m sharing my story so other women will know they are not “too young” to get breast cancer. Know your body, advocate for yourself, and be proactive.

Below are some visual musings from my experiences throughout diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. Art helped me weather the storm.
