Molly’s Story
I grew up knowing that my Grandma Caroline passed away from breast cancer at the age of 46. She died six months after the death of my grandfather from esophageal cancer in 1955, orphaning my dad at the age of eight. That is why, when I felt a lump during a self exam, I knew I had to check it out even though I kept telling myself that “it is probably nothing.” When a breast ultrasound led to a mammogram, which led to an immediate breast biopsy, it became apparent that my lump was highly suspect.
