I was diagnosed with stage 2B triple positive invasive ductal cell carcinoma in the December 2025 at the age of 31. Not only am I a patient, but I am also a doctor in the USAF. Yes my life has changed. Although this can feel like a roadblock, I choose to see it as a detour that will further build me up, add to my character and resilience, and make my journey more interesting and impactful!
