I'm Samantha!
In March 2019, I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer at age 22. I then completed 13 rounds of chemotherapy, 2 lumpectomies, 38 rounds of radiation, and 2 years of targeted therapy and hormone therapy. I was in complete remission for 4 years before I had a reoccurrence in August 2023. This time, the cancer spread to multiple places throughout my spine and pelvis and ended up fracturing a vertebrae in my back. I had surgery to stabilize my spine, 3 rounds of radiation to that vertebrae, tried a clinical trial, and now I am back on hormone/targeted therapy to hopefully kill the rest of the cancer in my body!
Cancer does not discriminate based on age, health, or gender. It can happen to anyone and I believe it's important to spread awareness, especially to young women. My goal is to bring hope and comfort to others dealing with a cancer diagnosis by sharing my story and living life to the fullest.
