History with the Condition

Anna was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 27 and underwent a double mastectomy, reconstruction, and 3+ years of hormone blocking therapy. After taking a break to start a family post-cancer, she will return to hormone blocking therapy. Anna hopes by sharing her cancer and fertility experience she can inspire other young adults to take ownership of their health, rebuild self-confidence and thrive after a cancer diagnosis.
