A Young Mom, a Tough Diagnosis, and an Unshakable Spirit.
While breastfeeding her baby, Emily from Osceola felt a lump that changed everything. At 30, she was diagnosed with early stage 2 triple negative breast cancer. What followed was a whirlwind of chemo, surgery, and the kind of strength that comes from love, laughter, and a close-knit care team.
