Christine's Story

Meet Christine. Chris was never able to do self-breast checks due to having what an ultrasound technician referred to as a “lumpy and bumpy chest.” Because of this, she made sure she had her regular mammograms and it was fortunate she did, as there were no symptoms leading up to her diagnosis of stage three breast cancer. It’s now been eleven years since Chris went through her treatment for breast cancer.
Chris is remarkably perceptive and this ability helped her through the more trying times throughout her journey. She shares the tips that helped her along the way, such as why you should wear black nail polish during radiation treatment, why it’s worth giving the “Looking Good, Feeling Better” sessions a go and why you should never have a mammogram on a Friday.
