I wish someone had told me this sooner.
Before I was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer before the age of 40, I didn't know I carried a BRCA mutation.
I also didn't know that some people with certain inherited genetic mutations or a strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer may have options to reduce their future risk. I wish I had known to ask more questions earlier.
I can't change my own journey, but I can share what I've learned.
That's one of the reasons I created CareTrack—a medical tracking app designed by someone who has lived through cancer, with the hope of making life a little less overwhelming for patients and caregivers.
If my story helps even one person start a conversation with their healthcare provider or feel a little less alone, then sharing it is worth it. 💛
