Katrina's Story:

In November of 2024, I was diagnosed with Stage IIA Invasive ductal carcinoma of the right breast (ER and PR strongly positive, Her-2 neu negative) breast cancer. This diagnosis will and has changed my life forever. After 16 rounds of Chemo, 30 rounds of Radiation and a bilateral mastectomy, I am now CANCER FREE!!! I will be taking medication for a few years to prevent my cancer from coming back and following up with my oncologist frequently, but it feels SO good that the storm is over! Medicine and treatments have continued to grow and develop to help battle this rotten disease. Raising money to cure cancer and put money towards the research of it can help us one day say we have a cure! 

Kristin's Story:

In July 2024, I was diagnosed with Stage II triple-negative metaplastic carcinoma, which is a rate and aggressive type of breast cancer. After 16 rounds of chemo, 18 rounds of immunotherapy, 20 rounds of radiation, and 2 surgeries, there is no evidence of disease (aka, I'm CANCER FREE)! I will be closely monitored by my oncology team over the next 10 years to watch for any signs of reoccurrence. Two treatments I'm most grateful for is immunotherapy and cell-free DNA blood testing, which are recent breakthroughs to prevent and monitor for reoccurrence. Consider donating to our team to support life-saving scientific breakthroughs like these! It's truly an honor to be a survivor and I appreciate the simple gift of being alive!
