My name is Christen Lehmann and I am a survivor. My journey began when I felt a lump in my breast. I made an appointment with my doctor but she didn’t feel what I was feeling. I went home assuming I was just being paranoid. Several months later I felt another lump under my armpit. This time when I went back we decided to proceed with a mammogram and ultrasound. That is when my life changed. It has been a crazy, long journey. Going through chemo, then surgery followed by radiation. I would not have gotten through it and remained positive if it wasn’t for the support of my friends and family and the Komen group. My goal now is to raise awareness that breast cancer DOES happen in young people. It isn’t enough to rely on your doctor, you must advocate for yourself.
