A message Danna shared about her breast cancer journey in October 2022:

 
"I have had breast cancer twice, different occurrences, and then last year it spread to my body.

Some take away‘s I want to share…
- Do your self exams, they may catch it before tests do.
- Visually pay attention to your breasts, skin changes can give important clues.
- Keep your appointments and please don’t delay! There are many different tests along the way that can provide nuanced and early info.
- Think about getting involved. Breast cancer treatment is making tremendous strides due to increased awareness and funding. For example a genetic test for 29 genes has only become available in the last few years, and gave me important new information. Also brand new lifesaving medication‘s are coming out frequently.
- If you are in the middle of this, or it is in your future… you will endure AND thrive.
- Live life well today! Stop kicking the can down the road. Decide who and what you love and make that your priority. "
