Wendy's story:

"From the day I was diagnosed with the evil "C' word I've worked to raise awareness of self breast exams for early detection. I was low risk, went for a mammogram every year but got Metaplastic Carcinoma (MpBC), a rare, aggressive, fast-growing type of caner found in only 1% of women. I was lucky enough to have caught it early at Stage 1 while dying my hair (dropped hair dye on #MyLeftBoob felt the lump and the rest is history). 

Many women who get it don't find MpBC until it's at Stage 3 or 4. I'm also Triple Negative, something only 15 percent of women have, so I can't be on any follow up meds. I say it's kind of like walking on a tightrope in high heels with no net. It's scary at times but as long as I stay balanced, keep my chin up and keep moving forward, everything will be okay!

After 16 weeks of dose dense "red devil" chemo, 30 rounds of radiation, 5 surgeries, 5 lumps and numerous complications, I'm happy to say I'm now 100% cancer free and planning the 2nd annual #MyLeftBoob celebration to raise funds for Ann's Place a nonprofit that provides free services for cancer patients and their families. We'll have live bands, delicious food prepared by Odeens BBQ, raffles by local bands and much more!"
