We wear pink to support the fallen, warriors and survivors of Breast Cancer. I’m so thankful for my village each and every day, because I wouldn’t have made it through without you all.
In September of 2022, I was diagnosed with stage 2 invasive ductal carcinoma. I never imagined that I would be fighting breast cancer at the age of 29. However, over the last year I have become a stronger Ryen. I kicked breast cancer's behind one chemotherapy round at a time and shrank my tumor over 70%. I was able to successfully undergo a lumpectomy, breast reconstruction, and lift. I was also able to successfully complete radiation, but not without some burn scars. I wouldn't be a warrior without scars right? But in the end, I survived and I am a breast cancer warrior! Please do regular self-breast exams. I found my own tumor with the help of Dominique Terrell. ð©·
I hope you join me in the fight for breast cancer!
