2026 Komen Columbus Race for the Cure
Pink Tumor Humor is More Than Pink
I am 42 years old and found 3 tumors in my right breast and one in my left breast - all malignant - 2 different types of cancers. On August 15th, 2025, I was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, HER2 positive (aggressive), state 2b, grade 2 in my right breast. In my left breast, I was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, in SITU (non-aggressive), ER positive, PR/HER2 negative. I began 6 rounds of TCHP chemotherapy from September 8th, 2025 - December 22nd, 2025, and a bilateral (double) mastectomy on January 23rd, 2026, with reconstruction. According to my pathology report - I am now CANCER FREE (received PCR)!
