And remember that men can get breast cancer too. So if anything feels or looks a "bit off" get it checked.

Before treatment, I looked well. I wasn’t.

Chemotherapy was brutal. It changed how I looked and how I felt.

But it was life-preserving.

Early diagnosis changes everything. If you have breasts, check them. If you love someone who does, remind them.

Catch it early.
