Young Breast Cancer Survivor

Hello! I am a Young Breast Cancer Survivor in Austin, Texas.  In 2009, at the age of 31, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was a young mom, and our kids were just ages 3 and 1.  

Luckily, the breast cancer was caught early, but the surgeries and chemo had a negative effect on my body. Today, I’m still dealing with long-term side effects.  But, I’m glad to be here and use my experience to help others.
