Meet Jessica - Breast Cancer Survivor

I am a wife and a mother to three little boys. Breast cancer was foreign to me. I was in my 30s, and I never thought I would get breast cancer in my lifetime, much less before I was 40 years old.

Then in March 2019, I felt a lump.

I did want to get it checked out right away and went to the Edith Sanford Breast Center for a mammogram and ultrasound.

That's when I heard the words that will forever stick with me. “Is there anyone here with you today?” Dr. Johansen asked.

"I never thought breast cancer would hit me"

After we received the official diagnosis of breast cancer, my husband, Robbie, and I felt clueless in this brand new cancer world.

There was never a question; we were going to Edith Sanford for treatment. The next week, we met with our team including our breast surgeon, Dr. Jesse Dirksen, and the oncology and radiology teams.

After we met with our care team, they came up with an aggressive treatment plan, but my scans showed that my cancer was curable. That was excellent news, and from that moment, it didn’t matter how hard the chemotherapy would be. We were just so excited that I would live.

When this all started, I was scared of the future, but my path at Edith Sanford has really brought back my excitement for it. I am excited to grow old with my husband and see my kids grow up.

 

I owe my life to my care team at Edith Sanford.
