Hey, I’m Jessica!
A few weeks after turning 33, I was taking a shower one day when I discovered a lump in my breast. Thinking that it was a benign, hormonal occurrence, I decided to Google my symptoms and dismiss it. I had just gone to my well-woman’s visit where the practitioner had performed a clinical examination of my breasts. She didn’t say anything about a lump at the time, so I thought that what I found in the shower was nothing to be concerned about.
Nearly four months later, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
After 16 rounds of chemo, 24 rounds of radiation, a double mastectomy, a hysterectomy, and a 10-hour reconstruction surgery, I’m celebrating life in remission by encouraging others to become their best health advocates. I started Feel For Your Life as a social media outreach project to tell my story and save the lives of others all over the world with a simple message …
Do your self breast exams.
