Hannah

"I've always loved being a student, starting in a neuroscience lab and earning a master’s in library science. But six years after school, I became a different kind of student when I was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer in 2016. With two young children, I had to learn quickly as a patient.

After treatment, I hoped to move on, but in 2018, I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) and later leptomeningeal disease (LMD)."

Ligeline

"My name is Ligeline. I’m a mother of two beautiful teens, one boy and one girl. I enjoy spending as much time as possible with my kids. We have the best time together, like three peas in the pod.

In March 2022, I was given the news that my diagnosis was Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. I did not have a family history or a genetic mutation. The diagnosis had me numb to my soul, but my faith has helped me through my diagnosis."
