My health care team was monitoring me for cancer due to a BRCA mutation. When a hysterectomy got delayed for various reasons, I ended up with ovarian cancer. Before I share my story, I must first share the story of my mother. At the young age of 30, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Surgery and treatment were successful, and she was in remission for 26 years. Then it came back in the other breast, and again she had surgery and treatment and was again in remission. Then in 2018 during a routine colonoscopy, she found out she had colon cancer. She underwent surgery and treatment and beat cancer for a third time. I am so thankful she is here with us today.
