Brittney Powell was only 35 when she found a lump in her breast. The Newnan resident never thought it could be cancer. “That’s the myth we’re told: too young, no risk.” Testing and a biopsy later confirmed invasive ductal carcinoma. With a background in healthcare, Powell advocated for herself. She sought out second and third opinions. She chose City of Hope because it felt like home. After chemotherapy, Taxol and a double mastectomy, she was declared cancer-free.

Powell is sharing her story to empower younger women. Cancer rates in women under 50 are now 82% higher in the U.S. than in men of the same age—with women under 50 in Fulton County ranking #2 statewide for lung cancer (compared to others in their age group) and #32 for breast cancer. Powell’s advice to other younger women: “Listen to your body. Trust your instincts. If something feels wrong, keep pushing until someone listens. We are not too young. We are not invisible. We matter.”

City of Hope is partnering with American Cancer Society, Together for Supportive Cancer Care, Tigerlily Foundation, and others to champion three urgent avenues for change: a national standard for supportive care, expansion of risk assessments and prioritizing age-specific research.
