Emily’s Story:
I am a breast cancer PREVIVOR.
In 2016, I lost my incredible mom to triple negative breast cancer—a heartbreak that reshaped my life. Following a few of my own breast cancer scares, and determined to take control, I underwent a preventive mastectomy in 2021 to slash my risk of ever developing the disease. At my first post-op visit, the oncology surgeon revealed a stunning truth: routine pathology found several pre-cancerous lesions. Without this surgery, I would have faced a breast cancer diagnosis within a year. My choice didn’t just reduce my risk—it stopped cancer in its tracks.
A PREVIVOR is someone who takes action to reduce or eliminate the risk of a genetic cancer before it develops. I am on a mission to make this term mainstream and empower women with knowledge about this life-saving option. For me, the choice was clear, and I want others to know they have it too.
