Portrait of Katrina

Katrina

Diagnosed with breast cancer August 2017

"I was a healthy and happy person and I still got sick. Breast cancer doesn’t pick and choose who it’s going to target, it can happen to anyone, and many people don’t realize that. With more young women being diagnosed, I want to help raise awareness. I want people to do self-examinations and push for testing if you do feel a lump. As a younger woman who faced breast cancer, I recognize the importance of having a network who understands what you've gone through. That’s why I chose to share my story."
